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.
