An Uncivil War Vendee ,France 1793

 An inspiration on Invasion via Wargames Illustrated July 2019.

The French Revolution wasn't all most of the country against the Royalists. The Vendee in western France around the Loire River was the site of a Royalist/Catholic army against the new republic.

To field my force i shall use

AWI American militia as the Vendean with a smattering of SYW French i have.

Malplaquet September 11, 1709

 One of the big battles if the War of Spanish Succession, 

Like really big

So I'm going to focus on a small section, based on the Wargames Illustrated article of their February 2020 article. 

French:

6 battalions in redans in the centre, 

7 battalions in the Bois de Sars (a fortified position) 

A further 5 battalions in reserve with 22 squadrons of horse. (Well, whatever I have)

5 guns in total.

Allied:

4 British battalions 

8 Prussian Battalions

5 guns

As many British horse as I have.

Bold, but something to try. I just need to finish off my Team Yankee game and can then start an 18th century one
