The War of the Spanish Succession, also known as Marlborough's Wars (1702-13), fought in Europe and on the Mediterranean, were the last and the bloodiest of the Wars between England and France under Louis XIV, and the first in which Britain played a major military role in European military affairs.

A really great looking game.
May I ask what set of rules did you use?
I see you stated you used a club set.
Is that a home set or commercial? Thanks.
