A fully grown Spanish Tercio

Here are some photos from an Essex 15 mm TYW Spanish army.

And a fully grown Spanish Tercio!
They have disembarked in England perhaps? One of History's best well kept secrets... Who knows.

Deployed on a gentle slope. Where is the enemy?

This tercio used to be the pride of my collection, now it belongs to a very close friend, who wanted to have an Imperial army to play against me
(I have retained my Swedish, French, etc anti-Imperial forces)

Fierce, yet soft metal pikes, they bend too easily and you have to take care when bringing them to melee.
These ones don't play the pick-a-pike game like the other, you know  ;)

Lovely!!!

The only thing that bugs me, is that I also intended to field and post a tercio in the future! But mine will be in 28mm, so perhaps it will be percieved as something novel anyway :)

Good work!

It's nice, but I have to say the Tercios almost never wore uniforms

You are a real brother-in-arms and it is my honor that you have them under your command!
I hope we will have many more exciting games with them in the future!
