I used this for my information (below). The Wikipedia entry for this battle is largely based on a book written in the 1850s so I have not used that at all.

Any suggestions for improvement are most welcome.

Pete, dropbox gave me a Code 404 when I tried downloading Seminara. The problem may be the interface with my computer but I'm letting you know just in case.

Try again please, Zeabed. I think it was my own incompetence.

A very exciting scenario this one. Thanks for posting it.

I think I am am going to change the arquebusier values for all my scenarios after today's experiments.

If the pike and shot units in Dreux Revised (iirc) are supposed to be arquebusiers, that change you mention might be a good thing. They do not stand up to cavalry very well.

Concerning Seminara itself, the French tactic is similar to that of the Huguenots in Dreux R, to go after the enemy right at once. with a holding action on the French left wing.

I am currently revising this one now to include the new arquebusier unit. I still don't know how big the armies were in this battle but it seems they were of smilar size but the French army was of superior quality having a sizeable Swiss contingent. Here is a very nice picture . . .
