Many years ago I saw a game which was probably an ancestor of this one that covered the battles of the Duke of Marlborough: Blenheim, Ramillies, Oudenarde and Malplaquet. Could someone tell me the name of the game? If I can find a cheap second hand copy I'd like to buy it. Alternatively - is there any new game in the works which will cover the battles of the War of Spanish Succession?

Possible you mean Horse and Musket - Great Battles of the 18th Century by The Development Team, Dave Erickson and Boku Strategy Games.

BUT I doubt it would be on the second hand store

Thanks for your reply. I think that must be it. I will keep an eye open for it on e-bay. No plans for a remake I suppose?

You could always recreate the scenarios (provided you get your hands on the game), or make new scenarios based on the War of Spanish Succession with the current HnM editor... all that'd be missing would be period-specific unit graphics, but once HnM V2 is out, you should at least have decent stand-ins for most of the major belligerents.

You were right. I haven't been able to find a copy anywhere. [:(]

I saw a few copies on Amazon...the cheapest was $40...all the way up to $80!

I hadn't looked on Amazon outside the UK. I've just had a look at Amazon in the U.S. and the prices went from $44.99 up to $90.00 plus international shipping. I think I'll continue to monitor ebay for the time being. [:D]

Yea..those prices are ridiculous.

Is this game still have been in the pay area? Isn't it in free games? With those graphic and and engine should be.
Well I get some resource of those game, and game itself, but don't remember how I get it?

Try the NWS website. He may have a used copy.
