At Heart of Battle and Aftermath in a Turbulent Campaign
Reports from the war detail a costly assault near Sart and Fanfart with heavy casualties on both sides. Marlborough and Eugene urged continued pressure as the enemy defended strong intrenchments and hedges, while bombardment and cavalry tactics shaped a six hour fight that left fifteen cannon captured and heavy losses in British and Dutch ranks. Messages from Naples and Vienna describe broader strategic moves and shifting alliances across Europe.
