Agree with you fully Invisible Officer, thanks for you additon. When I write “proper tercio” above I’m referencing the practice of forming pike with as many ranks as files etc. I understand the the term was continued to be used almost synonyms to ‘regiment’?

Yes, the first picture illustrates my attempt to show a “Swedish brigade” ~1630-1632. I could perhaps add one or two rota of musketeers in the center.

When it comes to playing Pike & Shotte, I’m fine with deploying a pike center with sleeves of musketeers, roughly 1:2 ratio 🙂
