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.
