Wonderfull! Malburian is one of my favourite periods. Many thanks to you and the other erstwhile modders who have given us so much extra! It is very much appreciated.

Yes it is very exciting to see how productive the moders have been for this game. I hope the four big battles of Marlborough are eventually released. My favorite war however is The Seven Years War so still holding out hope that someone will venture to the Continent during that period. Love the '45 battles but Jacobites are no substitute for Prussian Grenadiers!

Ditto the above comment. Love Blenheim. The Battle of Oudengarde, Malpaquet, Ramilles, and Almansa (Spanish versus a British and Portuguese expedition into Spain in 1707) would all be great battles to see added from the War of the Spanish Succesion. Also, the War of Austrian Succesion would be great with the Battles of Fontenoy, Dettington, and Lens (the final and biggest battle of that war). I agree that the Seven Years War would be awesome to see with the Battles of Prague, Zorndorf, and Minden and also don't forget the American theater with the French and Indians fighting the British and colonists. Braddock's defeat, the Battle of Champlain, Quebec, Montreal all had plenty of British, French, colonists, and Indians would be cool to see as additions too. Thank you! Keep up the good work! Sincerely, Steven Johnson

Playing the French in this battle and find having the nine brigades confined to the two villages a massive disadvantage as the GA just manoeuvres around them out of musket range.
Units crossing the stream still maintain their order and so fire at full effect.
Playing this game for the first time as an MP game and find it rather irritating as the GA marches past Blenheim giving rude gestures from outside musket range.
I was caught out by the French Dragoons being armed with Arquebus.......was wondering why they were not shooting :oops:
On the whole a very good piece of work Odenathus, thankyou.

Playing this as a MP game for the third time and I strongly recommend, Odenathus if you are reading this, the scenario be tweeked a little to allow the nine French Brigades confined to the two villages normal movement please.
