	Response to Paoletti letter (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Clearly battles could be forced under certain early modern conditions, as I tried to qualify in the text: as a recent example, in the October 2000 issue of this journal Derek Croxton highlighted the relative ease with which armies were surprised in 1640's Germany.
		As for the utility of fighting yet another battle, the Dutch had already lost an enormous number of their troops at their last battle of Malplaquet in 1709, and now in 1712 the British regiments under the Duke of Ormond were neutralized due to their "restraining orders" (a semi-secret cease-fire with the French).
		Second, if one takes a longer perspective the decisiveness of a battle will change by year: in 1706 and 1707 Ramillies was decisive, in 1708 it wasn’t (according to Paoletti at least), but in 1709-1712 it was decisive again because the French gains of 1708 were reversed.

		A number of battles were fought in the vicinity between 1862 and 1864, including the bloody Battle of Chancellorsville in May 1863.
		It is often said that the Wilderness and Chancellorsville were fought in the same spot, but the 1864 battle was actually fought a few miles to the west, and only overlapped the old battlefield along the Brock Road on the Union army's left flank.
		George G. Meade, but taking orders from Grant, crossed the Rapidan River at three separate points and converged on the Wilderness Tavern, which ironically was the concentration point for the Confederates one year to the day earlier when they launched their devastating attack on the Union right flank at Chancellorsville.

	Battle of Ramillies, Marlborough defeats Villeroy 23 May 1706
		In Ramillies a French counterattack was meanwhile aimed at dislodging the Alliance from Ramillies.
		In short: the results of Ramillies were such that almost all of the Spanish Netherlands with the exception of the territory around Namur and Luxemburg went over to the coalition, and the allies were now able to attack France itself, a success that had never before been achieved in these territories.
		Another consequence of Ramillies was that Louis XIV weakened his forces on all other fronts in order to rebuild an army in Flanders, a circumstance that would greatly aid Eugen in his attempt to relieve Turin.

	JMH Abstracts: Vol. 64, No. 3
		The literature on the Duke of Marlborough's campaigns in the War of the Spanish Succession (170114) draws a strict battle-siege dichotomy, attributing all successes to Marlborough's quest for battle and all failures to his allies' avoidance of battle.
		The Low Countries campaign of 1706 and the battle of Ramillies are held up as proof of battle's potential for offensive strategic decision in even the most heavily fortified of theaters, despite recent early modern historiography which downplays military mobility and instead emphasizes logistical limitations.
		The paradox of post-Ramillies pursuit in the Flanders theater is resolved by illuminating the prerequisites of decisive battle: consensual combat, indefensible fortifications, and disloyal subjects.
