About this audiobook
The War of the Spanish Succession, fought from July 1701 to September 1714, and triggered by the November 1700 death of Charles II of Spain, was a conflict for control of the Spanish Empire between his heirs, Philip of Anjou – grandson of the French king. Louis XIV – and Archduke Charles of Austria. On September 11, 1709 the Battle of Malplaquet was fought in the area of the present French city of Tasnières-sur-Horn. Marlborough and Prince Eugene knew that Villars had been instructed to fight by Mons and tried to induce him into a pitched battle, hoping to gain a decisive victory. In the battle simulation, I will try to correct the flaws presented in the historical analysis, testing improvements in the maneuvers. And then we will prove which maneuver will prevail, both being instructed with the best and maximum effort.
