OK so I'm rereading Ungrateful daughters by Maureen Waller and it got me thinking about James II. More specifically when William of Orange invaded England. According to Wikipedia ( gotta love it) James lost his nerve and declined to attack the invading army, despite his army's numerical superiority. So my question is what if James didn't lose his nerve. Also according to Wikipedia, several protestant officers, including the future Duke of Marlborough and others had already defected. So did James have a chance or not? Is it more likely that James of William would win? And if James won what would be his next move?
