Fought the 1622 battle of Fleurus twice yesterday with different commanders.
10mm scale : a mix of Pendraken, Newline, Lancer and Irregular figures.
Rules were Twilight of Divine Right.
Write up for the first battle is here. (https://d6onod6.blogspot.com/2024/02/fleurus-once.html)
Second round to follow later.
Excellent site and great looking battle. =D>
A very enjoyable AAR, lucidly explained and illustrated. I look forward to round two to find out if the Spanish can actually achieve a historic result.

Good stuff Keraunos, thanks for posting your two battle reports.
I like how you have based your tercios, they look impressively large :-bd
Thanks very much. I am having fun with them and a new order from Pendraken has just arrived that will allow me to do some early Spanish Tercios with Arquebusiers and Rodoleros as well as Pikes and Muskets :)
Very good stuff. I painted up TYW armies specifically for the battle of Fleurus and based for Helion's In Deo Veritas although I imagine I could use them for Liber Militum'd Tercios or other sets. Although they are painted up, I have yet to game with them.
Very interesting to see how Divine Right handles the battle. From what I recall, in the actual battle the Protestants were near mutiny (the cavalry specifically) and the Spanish baggage train came into play because some of the Protestant cavalry got blocked by it.
I need to get my armies on the tabletop. Tha is for the inspiration!
