	Battle of Fontenoy, by Bartholomew Dowling
		FONTENOY is a village of Belgium, and famous as the scene of the battle fought May 11, 1745, between the French under Marshal Saxe and the allied army of English, Dutch, and Austrians, under the Duke of Cumberland.
		At the time of this battle the French were trying to keep the allied army from marching to relieve the siege of the fortress of Tournai.
		But soon after the battle began the Duke of Cumberland placed himself at the head of his army, and marched a column of fourteen thousand men with fixed bayonets down the ravine between the two forces and up the opposite slope.

	LA GENESE DU TRICORNE
		Fontenoy is forming the apex of the French defensive position.
		Slowly the 21 Anglo-Hanoverian battalions began to climb the gentle slope, the famous “Ravine of Fontenoy”, and found themselves engulfed in a murderous fire on both flanks, as the French artillery around Fontenoy, and the cannon stationed inside and around the redoubts near the Wood of Barry poured their shot into the oncoming masses.
		Believing the battle to be lost, the courtiers urged the French King and his son, the Dauphin to leave the field.

	The Battle
		It was at this stage of the battle that Napoleon, who had been on the field since 10.00 am, but had remained strangely inactive, sent forward General Anne-Jean Savary with two regiments of his Imperial Guard fusiliers and a strong battery of artillery to support Murat.
		Having to pass through a very narrow defile, which Savary had noted was the only line of retreat for Murat's horsemen, the French general quickly deployed his regiments in front of Langwiese village, just in time to allow the retreating squadrons of French to filter through his lines and reform at the rear.
		Some 40 Russian cannon swept the left bank of the Alle and caused the French divisions of St. Cyr and St. Hilaire, who were moving forward to cross the stream, to compress their columns to avoid the awful cannonade.

		Both Fontenoy and Antoing were prepared for defence with a breastwork around the south and east perimeters of each village.
		Fontenoy (which before the battle would have a second town block south of the single block I have used in the game) had the southern part of the village burned to deny the attackers cover.
		The churchyard with it's stout four-foot high stone wall was the key to the defence of Fontenoy and it seems from accounts, that the destruction of the southern portion of the village was intended to clear a fire break or killing ground in front of the churchyard.
