League Of Augsburg - Fighting Talk

With the height of gaming BLBv2 recently, I'm looking to game an "Assault on a built up area" type game and looking for possible scenarios...what do you guys have?

Would the assault be the main focal point of the engagement, or just a side-bar action?

Thanks.

Greg,

The most obvious one is surely Blenheim, definitely not a side -bar action.

What about the final breach at the siege of Namur? There were assaults through the differetn parts of the city and also I think amphibious activities as the citadel was on the opposite bank of the river.

Pick any village at Neerwinden: Laer, Rumsdorp etc. All hotly defended in some cases by units of British Guards.

Assault on Oldbridge at the Boyne?

There were villages at Blenheim (weren/t the Irish in Ober or Unterglau?)

Villages at Ramillies...

Take your pick Greg. The first demo game LoA ever did at Warcon in 1992 was the Assault on Laer

Ray.

One can even argue that siege warfare was the norm during this period, and that battles were the exception.

Now were're talking. I have a lot of terrain to outfit most of your guys suggestions. Next is to do a little research and come up with some ORBATS and maps.

Thanks BIG time!

Gunter,
Been clicking around the site for a few, a lot of information, a big plus for the auto translation.

Thank you.

The gate at Walcourt of course. Coldstreamers and Luneburgers fighting off the grade francaise.
