Prince Eugene tries to take the French naval port of Toulon in July 1707.
Eugene had crossed the Var on the 11th, and—although hampered by the negligence and inefficiency of Victor Amadeus II of Savoy—had reached Frejus.
He is in touch with the British fleet under admiral Shovell by the 16th, but Victor Amadeus' procrastination causes further delays.
This gives time for the troops that the Duke of Berwick is sending home from Spain to reinforce Marshal René de Froulay de Tessé at Toulon before the arrival of the Allies on July 26.
