Spain Faction Showcase

The famed Tercios are here! The most influential army of the 16th and 17th centuries that left an imprint across the world. This roster is based on the Tercios of the Thirty Years War.

Coselete
These battle-hardened armored veterans were the anchors of the Tercio formations. They made up the front half of every pike block and did most of the close-quarter fighting. With experience drawn from the many fronts of Spain, they were formidable to all Her enemies.

Mosquetero
Chosen among the strongest gunners to carry the mighty musket, the Mosqueteros were the prime dealers of death and destruction for the Tercios. They mowed down the enemies of the Spain, volley after volley.

Rodeleros
The word and buckler that flourished in the bloody urban religious wars of the 16th century were recalled onto the battlefield for the Thirty Years War. Their speed and flexibility were much welcomed in the slow, rigid pike and shotte wars.

Arcabuceros
The Arcabuceros were a multi-role gunner for the Tercios. Their discipline allowed them to be mixed in among the Mosqueteros when fighting in the open field and their lightness allowed them march ahead to flush out enemies in rough terrain.

Pica Seca
These fresh eager recruits of Tercios formed the rear half of the pike block to bolster its size and weight. They followed behind the Coseletes to gain experience and wealth to one day join their ranks.
