The success of the Tercio system was an interesting one. Clearly it worked very well for Spain, it had such success that others around Europe, particularly in Italy and Germany were emulating the Spanish pike and shot formations. Yet, it was the Spanish Tercios which are remembered and were by far the most successful.
What made the Spanish Tercios so legendary and brutally proficient? Was their discipline as huge as we think?

Mere pikers when compared to the Highland Clan system of Scotland and their war pipes.
Any PC gamers out there? Pike and Shot covers this eara if the Spanish Tercio.
