Title: Mookerheide 1574
Post by: henerius on 03 September 2017, 09:35:43 PM
With 3 others I joined an 80 years war event in Utrecht. We played a scenario replaying the battle of Mookerheide in 1574. It seems that the outcome of our game was a little different then the outcome 400 years ago.

The spanish Tercios reaching the dutch lines starting their demolition work on the rebel army. In 1574 the rebel army was totally wiped and the spanish had relatively few losses. In our version the dutch slowly retreated from the field fighting, leaving the field to the spanish which were in no state of pursuit.

Great armies. I see that TAG is promising a specific 80 Years War range at some point.

What a lovely looking game! It's a period that really needs to be gamed more than it does.

Who makes the minis that you've used?

I only made 50% of the spanish.

Games workshop, warlord games, helldorado, brother vinnis, gamezone. The others also took models from more then one miniature company. Like that you have more choice and variation.
