1/300 ECW with "Tercios" rules

[robh]

Few pictures from a recent playtest of the Liber Militum "Tercios" rules with the ECW force lists in the Kingdoms expansion.
My H&R figures are used at a reduced 66% scale so the 12cm bases are downsized to 8cm frontage and all table measurements are made with 66% rulers (same system I use for Volley and Bayonet and Kampfgruppe Normandy 1/300 gaming)







The rules are very easy to pick up and play quickly even with fairly large forces (big base games are great for that). There are some issues with the rules around shooting priorities and firing arcs (or lack of same) that need to be houseruled, but overall we found them to be a very good set of rules.
This game was played without including the unit and character special traits and abilities so was just a generic run through of the mechanisms...

Overall very pleased with them (table clutter order cards have got to go!) but wish that the level of support on the rules forum was better, there are questions on there still unanswered after 2 months. Brand new set of rules that is pretty much unsupported already? Does not bode well sadly.

Anyone else trying these?

Looks a great game,H&R ECW range are great,they look cracking en masse. Well done sir!!

Thanks, they have been fun to do.  Been around for ages but (imho) still the best 1/300 figures available. Don't have the detail of the oversized ranges but look better en masse and you get to decide formations and figure spacing on the bases.

Not really my sort of scale but it does look good

Thanks. I started ECW with 25mm (as they were called in those days), sold them for 15mm and in turn sold those for 6mm.

The bigger scales looked too much like the ECWS re-enactment weekends I used to do.

I have pretty much went down the same route, 28mm to 15mm to 10mm and ended up at 6mm, just seems to work for me.
