Getting Ready for Spartacon 2020


the armies laid out on a 6 x 4 foot table,
 at the convention I will be using a 5 x 8 foot table and rather more terrain

     I have finished the set-up of the armies that will be involved in my Thirty Years War game for Spartacon. These forces are organized for the Liber Militum Tercio rules. The battle with feature a conflict between Tercios of the Spanish Empire  and the Reformed Battalions of the Dutch Republic. I have designed the game to accommodate between four and eight players. It is scheduled to run in the second session. It is a very nearly balanced battle in terms of points, thus the outcome will be decided by a combination of skill and luck. If you are planning on playing please check out the basic rules for FREE right here.

the left wing of the Dutch Army, 
a brigade each of Mounted Arquebusiers and Cuirassiers

the left center of the Dutch Army; 
three each of Reformed Battalions, light cannon and Independent Shot

the right center of the Dutch Army; 
three each of Reformed Battalions, light cannon and Independent Shot


the right wing of the Dutch Army, 
a brigade each of Mounted Arquebusiers and Cuirassiers


the left wing of the Spanish Army, 
a brigade each of Mounted Arquebusiers and Cuirassiers

the left center of the Spanish Army; 
two each of Heavy Cannon, Independent Shot and Tercio Viejo

the right center of the Spanish Army; 
two each of Heavy Cannon, Independent Shot and Tercio Viejo

and the right wing of the Spanish Army;
a brigade each of Mounted Arquebusiers and Cuirassiers

        The armies tip the scales at right around 2200 points each, enough troops to keep everybody bust for a couple of hours. So drop by and join in the game.

  1. Looks like the rebasing was a success!
    8 is a lot of players to handle. I usually max out around 5 or 6. Good luck at the Con! 😀
