Hi Stefan

The only one in my collection (this not being my period) is
A Famous Victory by Moments in History. 1994 Ulrich Blennemann / Richard
Berg.

Not sure of the availability - CriticalHit website seems to be out of order.
I think it is OOP, but should be available somewhere. Original price $39

Medium complexity - is after all based on a Berg system :-)

One of two battles (Other being Ramillies) each on a 22x33 Map side (box is
wrong).

Map is rather plain. Scale 175 yds per hex.

720 counters (don't ask me how many for each battle as it's
unpunched/unread)
Counters are colourful enough - different backgrounds for each of the 11
nations
Troops represented by a single soldier/cavalry in period uniform
simply coloured differently. Each with ID and three ratings.
Leaders represented simply by named spear/standard symbol for Line & Wing
Cmdr, each with 4 ratings.
Artillery is represented by size and 2 ratings.
Several markers - Command points, counter charge, leader initiative,
reduced, rout status, standing assault.
Scale - Infantry battalion, Cavalry regiment

4 simple letter Player aids - 1 for each side plus two common. cover,
19.5 Pages of Rules, 6.5 pages for two battles, 0.5 pages Bibliography,
3 pages Historical Background. 1 Side basic Sequence of Play. Each
scenario for 1-4 players. Half hour turns. Approx historical setup
details given (but not to exact hexes) or 'Free' Setup - setting up in
six to nine lines in a limited area. A couple of optional rules (French
command, Balance) some specific rules - destroyed bridges, burning down
villages. Four victory levels - automatic geographic control, and break
levels for each side. Playing time given as four to seven hours.

Rick Swan had a review in Zone of control #3
".. A Famous Victory is a masterful examination of an overlooked era,
supported by shrewd rules and incisive historical analysis.
Look : Excellent. Utility : Excellent. Rules : Good. Game : Good. Simulation
: Excellent
Innovation : Good."

Whereas I think that the look was even for then simply so good I can't
comment on the rest !

Grognards has : variant, optional setup, counter manifest, Charge Reaction
Table (Word file),
1 page official errata (PDF file), quick setup (PDF file)

A second game is available in the same series - Fields of Glory :
Oudenarde & Malplaquet. 1996. 840 Counters. Map is much better -
approaching Clash of Arms la Battaille series - from Rick Barber. Time 4
to 10 hours. Adds optional fatique rule. This time one side in each
battle has fixed statring positions - down to the hex position. Half
page errata text available on Grognards.

Hope this helps !
Regards,
Chris Leach
