Fontenoy, 11 May 1745 - Maréchal de Saxe and the French
Army Ascendant, brings the highly successful Battles from the Age of Reason
series to the War of the Austrian Succession. Fontenoy is a tight contest
between the greatest general of the war-- Maurice de Saxe--commanding French
troops behind defensive works, against the inexperienced Duke of Cumberland who
commands a mixed group of Allied troops. Fontenoy includes several nationalities
not yet seen in the BAR series: French, Dutch, Hanoverians, and English troops
on the Continent, and offers a tactical situation far different from any other
BAR game. Aside from the classic, historical battle in which the Allies try to
breach the French defenses, variant rules allow the Allies to try to outflank
the French, add more forces to both sides, and even take away the French
defenses for a straight-up contest on the plains of Flanders. There are nine
scenarios in all and a multitude of optional rules so that gamers can tailor the
battle to their taste. BONUS GAME! Also included is the Battle of Melle, 9 July
1745.This is a complete battle with a small number of counters per side, played
out on a half size map. Melle is a rare meeting engagement, and is a swirling,
chaotic battle as each side seeks to obtain their objectives before night falls.
Melle is a quick-playing game, ideal for BAR beginners, or for those who want to
play out a full battle in one sitting.
