For my birthday I put out the War of Spanish Succession figures again. I need to break them in. Mostly I just played about with my terrain until I felt I had something interesting. The aerial view:
French on the bottom, the more numerous Austrians at the top of the photo. French win if Austrians can't break them and cause them to leave the battle field. Eugene commanded the Austrians, the French had Tallard. The larger river was very difficult to cross except for at the bridges.
The Palatinate attempted the impossible.
The Austrians would ultimately force the bridge with the help of their Prussians (top left corner). On the other side of the board the French Cavalry would hold one hill, while an Austrian command held another, and the third Austrian command came across the bridge to "pincer" the French Cavalry. The French in the Town merrily shot away at the Austrians on the hill, but eventually would come out to help the beleaguered cavalry.
Beyond the bridge as seen on the left, the French made a final stand on a nearby hill and ultimately threw back the Prussian and Palatinate attackers. With losses mounting, the Austrian army quit the field (lost a major morale check). It was a close battle with both sides low near zero on morale chips. The battle of the "Hill bridge" was the deciding factor.
