Marlborough's Wars Starter Army

Black Powder – War of the Spanish Succession (1701-1714) immerses players in one of the first truly global conflicts of the early modern era. Sparked by a dynastic dispute between Louis XIV of France and Emperor Leopold I of Austria over the Spanish throne, the war quickly escalated into a continent-wide struggle. The Grand Alliance—comprising Britain, the Dutch Republic and various German states—formed to counter French ambitions. Battles were fought across Europe and overseas, making this period ideal for varied and strategic tabletop warfare within Black Powder.
