Rob, you gave us a great review! If any reader is looking for a new period to explore, your review would surely entice them to look at the campaigns of Marlborough and Eugen. As you point out, Marlborough’s approach march to the Danube is a fascinating logistical marvel in its own right. Your recommendation to use the final engagement at Blenheim itself, a potential breakout operation, as the basis of a solo game is a flash of creativity. Excellent book review and a superb game suggestion.
