Got side-tracked from playing Campaign’s of Marlborough and got to thinking how on earth did Marlborough manage to win the Battle of Blenheim?

The French defensive position was almost perfect. Terrain wise,  the only flaw was that a possible retreat of the French right wing would be blocked by the Danube River. The Battle Plan was sound, 3 fortified villages would enfilade Allied brigades assaulting both the Ditches & Thickets Area and the Sloped Fields Area with heavy artillery fire. 

Ordered 30 movement stands and 160 metal bases from wargameaccessories.com for my 25mm French & Indian Wars British and French armies. Each consists of 10 companies and 3 artillery pieces which gives me 26 Trays to use with Peter Berry’s Ranger! rules published by caliverbooks.com.
