Spanish Succession War (1701-1713) - Louis XIV
|
|
|
The dynastic struggle began when France's Louis XIV attempted to place his grandson, Philip IV, on the throne of Spain. The other major powers saw that as a threat, and so supported their own candidate, Charles III. That in turn began over a decade of fighting that grew into a general struggle for domination over all of Western Europe. This list was based on the old Warfare in the Age of Marlborough list http://www.boardgamegeek.com/geeklist.php3?action=view&listi... by Shyue Chou Chuang as he expressed that he doesn’t want to not manage this old list anymore.

# Flanders and Rhin strategic campaigns
by Allan Poindexter and W.P. Guthrie
This army-level strategic game, first published in The Wargamer magazine (#61), is a simulation of the battles of The War of the Spanish Succession, 1702-1714.
One player takes command of the French; the other player plays the Allied forces (British, Dutch, Austrians, etc.).
Nine scenarios and one Campaign game cover major battles such as Blenheim, Moselle, Landau, or the complete War. Victory is dependent on the scenario being played, but in most instances it is based on points gained through capturing and eliminating opponent's units, capturing supply trains, and occupying cities and fortresses.
Market average price: 15 to 25$

Flanders theater
# Denain 1712
by Frédéric Bey
Vae Victis issue 20. This game uses the same system (with some minor corrections and modifications) that was used in Vae Victis issue 6, "Fontenoy 1745." This battle ended the Spanish War of Succession. One turn represents one hour of real time, an infantry counter represents a brigade of one or more regiments, and a cavalry counter represents four to eight squadrons.
As with all Vae Victis games, the counters need to be cut out and mounted. The rules are entirely in French, although translations are available online.
Market average price: 9 Eu

by Richard Berg
"A Famous Victory (AFV) allows players to recreate two of the major battles - Blenheim and Ramillies - fought by England and her continental allies against the ambitions of the Sun King, Louis XIV, during the War of the Spanish Succession, a war that revealed John Churchill, First Duke of Marlborough, as England's greatest Field Commander and one of the true military geniuses in history."

Italia theater
# Turin 1706
by Giacomo Fedele
There are two different games inside the box: one on the field battle fought before the city and the other for the siege itself. The quality of the maps is not very high, while the counters (more than 500) are a work of art, with splendid reproduction of the period uniforms.
The rules seems of medium complexity and of the usual kind for the field battle, while they seems very peculiar for the siege battle itself.

Flanders and Rhin theater
# Oudenarde 1708
# Blenheim 1704
by Richard Berg
This simulates two of the "Duke of Marlborough's" Battles during the "War of the Spanish Succession" featuring Blenheim(1703) & Oudenarde(1708). It has two 22-inch by 17-inch mapsheets in four sections that have to be put together, and the game's two countersheets have to be mounted and cut apart prior to commencing gameplay with these. There are plenty of Cavalry involved in these, as well as the Dragoons which seem to be in transition in Historical terms.
