There are some special case command points in this battle: While Eugene or Marlborough can influence any unit in either of their combined armies, no French commander has influence over Bavarian units, and no Bavarian commander over any French unit. Colonel Blood, Marlborough's artillery commander, has command influence only over artillery, but can influence any Allied artillery stand. CT, FrC, CT-Pistols = There are several different ways that mounted troops could charge in this period, which are reflected in the "Marlborough Supplement" to the AoR rules. These abbreviations refer to units that can "Charge at the Trot (CT)", "French Charge(FrC)", or "Charge at the trot with pistols CT-Pistols)". The terms Bn Guns and Platoon Firing refer to those infantry units that have better fire control (and, therefore, pluses on firing dice) and which had battalion or regimental artillery pieces attached to them. Note that the French units designated as having Bn Guns actually had regular 4 lb.-ers attached from the French artillery train, not permanently assigned light guns.
