A very good looking game and clear write up.  Thank you.  I've had a look at the rules you used and might try them out, though my sense is that Fleurus is about the biggest battle you would want to tackle with them.

Sharp looking game! I like the modular approach to reflect different types of units. I have some of the Twilight sets but never played them.

Also, my condolences on the loss of the Imperial commander.  ;D

Those large Spanish tercios certainly look pretty formidible.

Pierre, the tercios are very tough nuts to crack in combat (as my Protestant infantry and cavalry learned first-hand). I think the best way to tackle them is with artillery and infantry salvoes to get them properly softened up and disordered before the cavalry or infantry come to grips in hand to hand combat.

I thought the rules gave a good account of pike and shot combat. I own lots of P&S rules because so many have been unsatisfying. The mechanics are less fidly than I feared. I was resolving combat without referencing the QRS and unit stats after a turn or two.
