We are very pleased to release the first army in our 15mm "Late 16th Century" range -- the Spanish. This was the period that saw the mighty tercio at its apex, with Spain at war in the Netherlands, attempting invasion of England, intervening in the French civil war, and sending troops to aid the Irish.

Artillery is coming soon. The "herreruelos" were actually German Reiters, and they are available now as well, but they haven't been painted up for display yet. All mounted codes can choose the simpler horse furniture or the fancier version with long rump straps.

Weren't the Spanish the last to use those? (Seem to recall they provided the "Germans" in the film "The Battle of Britain".)

Yes, Franco got some from Germany and the aircraft was also built under license in Spain (with some local mods, like engine, machine guns and so on). The Spanish Bf-109 was called the HA-1112 and they continued to serve the Spanish Air Force until the 60s.

And yes it's weirdly appropriate isn't it?

They re-engined them with merlin engines in the 50s!
