…Great Italian wars


" I fancied a great Italian wars battle after starting an Italian wars Sforza command stand and reading Mr Freitags Fornova AARs so set up the battle of Agnadello 1509 between the French and Venetians, I used the Renaissance Battles 1494-1700 volume 1 by Peter Sides for this scenario, there's an A5 map and an order of battle and description of how it went. We set up as per the book although I missed out one of the Italian pike and crossbow blocks as I didn't have enough and didn't want to use landsknechts as that would be confusing and the Swiss infantry didn't get any light artillery. The Venetian force was mostly on a hill with the French opposite divided into two Swiss pike blocks on their left flank, two artillery pieces with a unit of Gascon crossbow behind and four units of elite Gendarmes on the right flank, opposite the Gendarmes were the Romagnal pike block, a unit of men at arms, two pieces of artillery and going up the hill a unit of militia pike and shot, two units of stradiots then two units of pike and crossbow and finally two units of men at arms on a 6' x 4' table…"
