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.

Global Conflict
by Joseph Miranda
Marlborough: War of the Spanish Succession, is a wargame of intermediate-to-high complexity, designed by Joseph Miranda.
Itis a two player game. One controls the forces of France and its allies, known as the Bourbon coalition, after the ruling house of France. The other player controls the forces opposing France, led by England and Austria and known as the Grand Alliance. Each player has a variety of military, diplomatic and economic instruments with which he can attempt to win the game by controlling states and economic centers.
The game includes several scenarios. Shorter scenarios represent critical parts of the war, while the "Grand Design" scenario covers the entire war. Certain rules are designated "optional," and the players don't have to use them. The optional rules are suggested for use only when playing the Grand Design scenario, as they add considerable complexity, historical detail and playing time.
The 34x22" large-hex map shows western and central Europe during the early 18th century. The grid of hexagons printed over the map provides locations for playing pieces and geographic features. During the game, the cardboard pieces are placed within individual hexes.
Each game turn represents one year; each hex scales to 50 miles. Each army represents 10,000 to 20,000 soldiers and support personnel, camp followers, etc. A leader represents that person plus his guards, entourage, lackeys, wine cellars, etc. A fleet represents 60 warships and an indeterminate number of transports.

# 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.
