Can you repeat the victory of the Duke of Marlborough over the Franco-Bavarian forces at Ramillies. In less than four hours, Villeroi’s army was utterly defeated. Marlborough’s subtle moves and changes in emphasis during the battle (something the French and Bavarian commanders failed to realise until it was too late) caught his foe in a tactical vice. Can you emulate the tactics of Marlborough, or escape the vice as one of Villerois divisional commanders?

Take the part of either John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough or the combined armies of the Duke of Burgundy and the Duc de Vendôme. Take the allied left flank as Marlborough and deny the French the outflanking manouvre or command the French armies right wing and press home where Vendôme delayed! A matter of decisive action for both sides…the choice is yours!
All you need to do is bring yourself and along roll dice and shout Huzzar!
One of the major battles of the Wars of the Spanish Succession. Adopt the tactics of The Duke of Marlborough, or be decisive as the French General Clérambault and hold your reserves to maintain the French line against repeated assaults.
Alternatively take on the mantle of Prince Eugene of Savoy and assault Lutzingen to drive the Prussian and Danish troops on to victory, or stand firm as Marshal Tallard and lead the Franco-Bavarian army to a history changing victory.
