		On the left rear of this line, and separated from Fontenoy by some furlongs of open ground, another redoubt was made at the corner of the wood of Barry and a fifth towards Gavrain.
		A second halfhearted attack on Fontenoy itself, delivered by some Dutch troops, was almost made successful by the valour of two of these battalions (one of them being the then newly raised Highland regiment, the Black Watch) which came thither of their own accord.
		Fontenoy was in the 18th century what the attack of the Prussian Guards at St Privat is to-day, a locus classicus for military theorists.

		I may have just managed to cover the most salient points of the Fontenoy battlefield before they disappear forever under a maze of motorway links and conurbation areas, and I hope that this article will instil a sense of urgency on fellow Battlefield Trust members to walk this site before it is too late.
		A brief outline of the events leading up to the battle and the positions of the various formations of the opposing armies will set the scene for a discussion of the topography of the ground as it was on that fateful morning of the 11

	Fontenoy 1745
		With the collaboration of the ACPW FONTENOY 1745 is a simulation of the great battle that saw the French army, commanded by the marshal of Saxony, face the coalition forces of the Anglo-Hanovriens and Dutch, for the possession of Flanders, May 11th 1745.
		The capture of Fontenoy and of one bridge is a marginal victory.
		The death or the capture of King or of marshal of Saxony (see 8.4) is a sufficient condition for the French defeat, though not being the pursued objective.

	[No title]
		Fontenoy, however, was not easily taken in, and no sooner did George make his first restless movement under the rug he had drawn over him, than his companion broke silence.
		It was being kept for the eldest son of the house, his mother explaining carelessly to Lord Fontenoy that she believed he was "Out parishing somewhere, as usual." However, with the appearance of the pheasants the door from the drawing-room opened, and a slim dark-haired man slipped in.
		Fontenoy's air of overwork was more decided than ever; his eyes had almost sunk out of sight; the complexion of his broad strong face had reddened and coarsened from lack of exercise and sleep; his brown hair was thinning and grizzling fast.

	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.
		The soldiers of Fontenoy, of Raucoux or Lawfeld were dead in vain, just, as a old French maxim said, "for the king of Prussia".

		After Fontenoy we handed back the zapper as we were now faced with manual locks where it is normal to help the lockkeeper close and open the lock gates.
		Many of the lockkeepers were students who seemed to think that their role was to fill the lock as quickly as possible, despite requests not to.

		When arriving at Fontenoy village turn left at the main crossroad for about 200 metres until the Celtic Monument is reached on the left hand side of the road.
		It was the concentrated fire from this point, as well as the destructive enfilading fire from Fontenoy that caused the British and Hanoverian regiments to draw-in their lines, thus making movement and normal battlefield deployment almost impossible.
		Taking the road back to Fontenoy from Vezon take the first turning to the right before entering Fontenoy itself and climb the dirt track that runs behind the row of houses on that side.

	Battle of Fontenoy
		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.
