After several years building up the armies I have finally re-fought this seminal battle of the Franco-Spanish war of the 1640s.

Beautiful game, must have been great to play. I'm sure I saw captain Alatrieste in there somewhere.

Yes Captain Alatrieste was certainly in the ranks of one of the front rank Tercios!

The most noble line was: "We thank your excellency for your generous offer; but we are a Spanish Tercio." (I paraphrase.)

Hi Simon – the battle looks wonderful. Just had a quick flip through, and will come back to revel in the detail later! Really like your blued-black armour technique and will be giving that a try. 👍

Great stuff. Simon's blog is always a good read.

A great-looking game, but I really like the King's musketeers.

Beautiful game and minis, I've always dreamed of playing Rocroi, but never gathered the courage to paint all the stuff…
More congrats to you, sir!

Where did you find the French cavalry standards?
