Very nice and I particularly like the "in photo" text boxes, excellent idea.

Would you post your army list, please? We are seeing the superior 6-pak musket + regimental gun combination a real tough nut during this time period!

Germans:

3 x [2HF pikes + 4MF muskets + reg. gun superior]
2 x [2HF pikes + 4MF muskets average]
1 x [4LF muskets superior]
1 x [2 medium arty.]
1 x [3Dragoons muskets average]
1 x [4Horse pistols/pistols armoured superior]

Weimarians:

2 x [2HF pikes + 4MF muskets average]
1 x [2HF pikes + 4MF muskets + reg. gun superior]
1 x [6MF muskets + reg. gun superior]
1 x [3Dragoons muskets average]
1 x [4Determined Horse pistols/pistols unarmoured superior]

If deadtorius sees this, perhaps he could post his army.

Just don't let it get caught in the open by horse!

Here is the Spanish list.

Note that all units listed as "tercios" were deployed as standard six base pike and shot units, they just kept the old name since it sounded better.

Don Bobolio (Great Commander)
3x Troop Commanders

Tercios
4x Superior Armoured pikes and shot with muskets
2x Elite Armoured pikes and shot with muskets.
2x Average Unarmoured pike shot with muskets (foreign regiments in the list nominally called Swiss since I found some Swiss Tercio flags)

Cavalry
Determined Horse Superior Armoured pistol pistol
Determined Horse Average Armoured pistol pistol

Artillery
2x heavy artillery 2 bases each.

Due to the placement of a particularly nasty vineyard or plantation thing, my guns had to be deployed where I did not want them or they would have had no LOS to the enemy, only time I wish I had a limber so I could have moved them up and had them set up further to my right.

Next time I will be taking some light stuff to counter those pesky dragoons, even a unit of LH would have come in handy, but I was seduced by all the superior and elite tercio's. I don't think that over all the army performed that badly as I was only 2 BG's away from a win when I rolled a 3 on that death roll and lost the game. It was very close but that 6 pack shot with the regimental gun was annihilating anything it shot at, and superior tercios can die just as fast from shooting as average tercio's
