About the Game

In September 1703, the Franco-Bavarian army of the Danube clashes with two enemy armies. One is under the command of Count Styrum and the other of the Margrave of Baden. On 17 September, Villars is informed that Styrum’s army is marching on Höchstädt, ready to establish a bridge at Grenheim to launch a combined attack against the French Army at Nodendorf on the other bank of the Danube.

In November 1703 , the latter’s troops cross the Rhine and join forces with the Prince. The troops camp between Heilingenstein and Dudenhofen in front of Spire (Speyer). The attack against the French forces besieging Landau is planned for the 16th. In the morning of the 15th, he reaches Pracontal at the appointed time and, now with 18 000 men, prepares to face off against 20 000 men from the imperial army. At 13.00 the French Army in battle order engages the combat against the enemy’s left wing which is only barely deployed and is disorganised!

The game proposes two scenarios for each of the battles.
