Preorder from Clash of Arms. The Battle of Fontenoy is the latest entry in the popular Battles from the Age of Reason series. This game includes several nationalities not yet seen in the BAR series: French, Dutch, Hanoverians, and English troops on the Continent, and offers a tactical situation far different from any other BAR game. Aside from the classic, historical battle in which the Allies try to breach the French defenses, variant rules allow the Allies to try to outflank the French, add more forces to both sides, and even take away the French defenses for a straight-up contest on the plains of Flanders. There are nine scenarios in all and a multitude of optional rules so that gamers can tailor the battle to their taste. Preorder Price: $64 (save $16).
