		The Battle of Blenheim was essentially a 1-1 odds fight with the French on the defensive behind some "slow-go" terrain; the Allies had an edge in cavalry and the French had an edge in artillery (Tincey makes no effort to discuss why the French artillery didn't turn the battle in their favor).
		The French made three critical mistakes that cost them the battle: (1) they failed to provide an effective covering force between them and the enemy, (2) they failed to cover "dead space" in front of their positions and (3) they committed their reserve at the wrong place and time.
		Indeed, the fact that Louis' armies could sustain more heavy defeats at Ramillies, Oudenarde, Malplaquet and Turin and still end the war holding many of their gains indicates that there was a great deal of strength left in the Sun King's empire.
