The Army of Holland, commanded by Lord Abermarle, originally dispatched to support the Duke of Marlborough and Prince Eugene during the 1704 campaign, will continue its march on Bavaria and head straight for the siege of Munich, where on arrival it will provide immediate military support to the Duke and invest in the fortress city, supporting and complementing the efforts of the 1st Royal Army.

William offers his deepest apologies however the armies that were sent to aid the Austrians are now needed north where a large French force will presumably be marching marching from Paris, again apologies.

The siege is relieved following Austria's agreement to peace and the departure of Marlborough.
