I have set up my game table to play the Battle of Fontenoy over the weekend, using the Charles S. Grant scenario found in his book, "Wargaming in History – Volume 2, Dettingen, Fontenoy and Laufeld." Keeping with the Grant theme for the game, I will substitute Prussians for British and Austrians for the French. Redoubt d'Eu

Here are a couple more pictures of the game table setup: Frederick and staff plan some strategy at the town of Vezon.
The Prussian cavalry in reserve on the back table.
I will start the battle tomorrow and play through the weekend. |
