Eugene sent a brigade of cuirassiers, one of the few reserves Eugene had left, to Marlborough’s aid without hesitation. He knew the battle was going to be won on Marlborough’s side of the field and trusted his judgement. The French commanders showed no such level of cooperation.

Some 15,000 troops were contained in Blindheim by Cutts’ mere 5,000 men, who used platoon-fire (see earlier threads for more on that) to drive back several sally attempts. Meanwhile, more and more of Marlborough’s troops were pouring across the Nebel to assault the French center.

This advance was covered by a small brigade of British dragoons under Colonel Francis Palmes. After crossing the Nebel, Palmes and his 700 troopers were set upon by over twice as many French troopers. And these were not just any cavalry; these were the elite French Gens d’Armes.

Obdam’s subordinates (namely Slagenburg) were made of sterner stuff and maintained their men’s discipline. Many Dutch units ran out of ammunition and resorted to the bayonet to claw their way out of the encirclement. By nightfall Slagenburg had forced his way out of the cordon.

Hostilities first began in 1701 (about a year before the widening of the war), with 30,000 Austrian soldiers under Prince Eugene of Savoy crossing the Alps into Northern Italy to confront French forces that had garrisoned Spain’s Italian lands (particularly Milan and Mantua).

A thread of British uniforms wouldn't be complete without some kilts. While it was a bit less colorful than the the kilts of other highlander regiments, the kilt of the Black Watch is definitely my favorite. I also adore the helmets of British dragoons. (3/4)

The charge of these three squadrons (two of Chasseurs of the Guard and one of Mamelukes) broke the exhausted Russian cavalry. 200 members of the elite Chevalier Guard were captured. The final crisis of the day was over. A decisive French victory was now a certainty

The remnants of Davout’s corps finally arrived on the French right and retook Solkonitz and Telnitz, stabilizing that flank. Napoleon now ordered his center to veer right to surround the Allied left. It was at this moment that the Russian Imperial Guard was unleashed.
