Any thought if John Chrurchill Duke of Marbrough is offred the command of the Dutch troops after his dismissal by the British.
During the war campaign of 1712 Marlborough accepted the overall command of the Dutch troops around April 1712.
This would give a rather akward tension in the Alloied command since the British where now commanded by Ormonde . The later also had secret orders to not to engage the French.
When the British were forced to open their cards as in OLT , Marlborough position and autorithy restored.
Let asume the Allied campaign went as in OTL and the Allies under Eugene of Savoy and Marborough make the same desicions.
Arras was bombared by the Dutch in March 1712 and the French provisions were burned. Unfortunatly due to a delay of the Austrian troops Arras could not be taken and the victory exploited.
the British contigent was forced to retreat to Dunkirk due to the separate peace the British made with France.
The Dutch and Austrians, the main contributors of the Allied forces started the siege of Landrecies
Denain was the fortyfied village at the crossing over the river Scheldt between the, long, line of supply between the siege and the supply base Marchiennes.
Now what if the troop movement of Villars was notified in the early hours of the 23 July. Marlborough conviced Eugene to take half o f the siege force and to move back to Denain re-inforcing the Dutch.
Marborough, after a forced march , could place his troops behind the re-inforced lines of communication ( earth works and stockade)
These allied lines were only discovered when the French cavalery investigated these communication line.
The battle who followed saw the utter destruction of the French army and imprisonment of Villars.
The victory was the ultimate revenge for Marlborough toward his British adversaries.
In the months after the battle the Allied forces successful took Landcresies, Chambrai and Arras. During the winter the French country was harrased by looting bands of Allied troops.
How would a peace treaty will look like?
