How comprehensive are the orders of battle?

Each battle is on one page of A5 and seeks to model the battle in a very simple way that nevertheless hopefully represents the differences between the armies and generates a battle that is historically plausible but also interesting to play. If you are looking for detailed orders of battle you will have to look elsewhere. The two armies at Fornovo are:
Holy League Venetian and Milanese: 1x Gendarmes, 1x Cavalry (Sradiot light cavalry), 1x Landsknechts, 1x Pikemen (levy), 1x Arquebusiers, 1x Crossbowmen

French: 1x elite armoured Gendarmes, 1x elite armoured Pikemen (Swiss), 1x Crossbowmen (Gascon), 1x Crossbowmen (French)

Very very simple but designed to give an amusing solo game playable in around 10 minutes. Hope this helps ...
