Quite a few Stuart as there was many present at Fornovo, possibly on both sides, I'm also planning to do a vignette of their discovery of Charles' porn stash! Seriously!  lol

I'm hoping to do a scene of Stradiots unloading sides of ham from supply carts, which (as with all great battles) is how the Battle of the Spurs began though I must admit it doesn't come close to a vignette of captured renaissance pornography ! ;D

You certainly already know this Stuart, but for those who don't, at Fornovo it was Charles' collection of erotic art and apparently caused quite a lot of amusement amongst the Stradiots who captured the French baggage!

It would be 'rude' not to do a vignette really  :D.

Simon, if it's for a wagon full of pikes I wouldn't say no to seeing it too.... pretty please?

If you think it holds no interest for Fornovo then ignore this post mate.
