Anybody done a Marlborough mod or scenarios, or know a Marlborough game?

Marlborough "commanded the armies of Europe against France for ten campaigns. He fought four great battles and many important actions. It is the common boast of his champions that he never fought a battle that he did not win, nor beseiged a fortress he did not take. Amid all the chances and baffling accidents of war he produced victory with almost mechanical certainty...

Until the advent of Napoleon no commander wielded such widespread power in Europe. Upon his person centred the union of nearly twenty confederate states."


1. RoP/NCP would seem to be a good base for Marlborough's campaigns. Is there a mod?
2. Any other OK games for that period?

The old game "Horse and Musket" used to have his main battles in it IIRC. I remember I had a lot of fun with it. :thumbsup:

Lucky you!

No, really :thumbsup: Would love to be reading that for the first time again. Actually I should haul it out of storage. Been a while.

The books are my father's. As I picked them up yesterday I saw a bookmark in the second volume, so I said "Oh, didn't you finish it?"

"Not the fifth time."
