I am currently working on this scenario, which eventually led to the annexation of Brittany by France - I have some information but I am missing quite a bit too. Of course, it may be the case that the details I am looking for have simply not been recorded by historians, but if you have any ideas about the following points then it would be much appreciated . . .

i) I do not have a map or any details at all about the terrain this battle was fought on

ii) the overall commander of the French army was Louis de la Tremoille, but who were the secondary commanders of the large Swiss and Italian contingents that fought for the French?

iii) who were the pro-Royal Breton nobles who fought with the French?

Many thanks. :wink:

Played it. The Bretons are somewhat outmatched here. The historical accuracy seems to be ok with what I know about the armeis of the period, although these are admittedly not my speciality.

Yes, this is a very difficult battle for the Bretons. They lost it in real life and lost their independence from France shortly afterwards. Did you play in multi-player? What was the score (roughly)? It may still need a bit more balancing to make it a good wargame - it has only had a handful of play-tests.

The Bretons lost it, the French had still like half of their RP left.
