| | | | | The Battle: Encyclopedia II - Battle of Scarrifholis - The Battle MacMahon’s inexperience was further exposed in how he drew up his troops for battle. He placed a small advance guard in front his army and positioned the rest of his troops in a huge solid mass, which meant that it would be very difficult to manoeuvre and very few units could actually engage the enemy, being stuck within the ranks of their own men. Coote, meanwhile, who had been fighting since 1641 and whose father had been a professional soldier, drew up his men in small flexible units – able to rein ...

| | | | | | | The Battle: Encyclopedia II - Battle of Carrickfergus - The Battle On the appointed day (4th of November 1597), MacDonnell was sighted on his approach to the castle at the head of an extravagant army, including 1,300 troops and 500 Scots musketeers. Not wishing to be outdone, the governor came out with the bulk of his men, just five companies of foot - who were wearied from a recent expedition - and one of horse. He led them out four miles, until the Scots were encountered, and then halted to allow his troops to close up on the advanced guard. In the interval the officers debated, one veteran urging the gov ...

| | | | | | The Battle: Encyclopedia II - Battle of Bun'ei - The Battle After landing in the bay, the Mongol force quickly overtook the town of Hakata (now a ward of Fukuoka), but were engaged by a number of samurai soon afterwards. At first, these samurai were helplessly outmatched; the samurai were accustomed to single combat, and could not match the organization of the invaders. The Mongols fought on horseback, firing heavy volleys of arrows into the group of Japanese. They also wielded a form of firecracker catapult, and their infantry used phalanx-like tactics, holding off the samurai with their shields and spears. Though unable to definitively defeat the Mongols, the Japane ...

Darius formed his line with his heavy cavalry concentrated next to the coast on his right, followed by the Greek mercenary phalanx (historian A.M Devine places them at a strength of 12,000, comparable to the Macedonian phalanx). Next to the Greek phalanx Darius spread his Persian infantry, the Cardaces, along the rive ...

He immediately cut the tour short and rode off toward the direction of the artillery fire. Arriving on the scene, he quickly sized up the situation and decided to set a trap using Ney's corps as bait. He ordered the Marshal to make a fighting withdrawal toward Lutzen, meanwhile he would send Ney reinforcements which would take up strong, defensive ...

| | | | | The Battle: Encyclopedia II - Battle of Midway - The Battle Vice Admiral Chuichi Nagumo launched his initial air attacks at dawn on June 4; Japanese carrier aircraft bombed and heavily damaged the U.S. base on Midway. American long-range bombers based on Midway, including B-17s, made several attacks on the Japanese, with little effect, and Midway-based fighter pilots, many flying outmatched obsolete Brewster F2As (British name, Buffalo), made a heroic defense of Midway. These efforts by Midway-based aircraft led the Japanese strike leader to signal Nagumo another mission would be necessary to neutralize the defenses, before the landing task force (proceeding indep ...

| | | | | The Battle: Encyclopedia II - Battle of Nagashino - The Battle Oda Nobunaga and Tokugawa Ieyasu brought a force of 38,000 men combined, to relieve the siege on the castle by Takeda Katsuyori. Of Takeda's original 15,000 besiegers, only 12,000 faced the Oda-Tokugawa army in this battle. Oda and Tokugawa positioned their men across the plain from the castle, behind the Rengogawa, a small stream whose steep banks would slow down the cavalry charges for which the Takeda clan was famous.
Seeking to protect his arquebusiers, which he would later become famous for, Oda built a number of wooden stockades ...

| | | | | | The Battle: Encyclopedia II - Battle of Ulundi - The Battle On July 3, with negotiations having broken down, Colonel Buller led a cavalry force across the river to reconnoitre the ground beyond the river. A party of Zulus were seen herding goats near the Mbilane stream and troopers moved to round them up. On a hunch, Buller bellowed an order for them to stop and prepare to fire from the saddle. His instinct proved right, for 3,000 Zulus rose from the long grass at that moment and fired a fusillade, before charging forth. Three troopers were shot dead and Buller ordered his men to retire. As they dash ...

Using a fortified bridgehead, Napoleon started a full scale crossing of the island with his 190,000 men. On the other side of the Marchfeld, Archduke Charles was busy maneuvering 140,000 men on the Heights of Russbach. Marshal Berthier, Napoleon's chief of staff, when giving orders to the various corps, accidentally assigned the same bridge to 2 corps. Although a very long delay ensued, Davout, Massena and Oudinot and their corps were across. B ...

Sigtrygg's son commanded the extreme left of the line with 1,000 of the men from Dublin who decided to fight in the open. Mael Morda added another 3,000 men from Leinster in two divisions.

| | | | | The Battle: Encyclopedia II - Battle of Affane - The Battle Desmond’s forces were composed of his Fitzgerald kinsmen, allied Gaelic Irish clans such as the O’Connors and O’Briens, and one disaffected dependent of Ormonde's, Sir Piers Butler of Cahir. Ormonde’s troops were provided by the Butler lords and allied Gaelic and Old English levies.
Desmond left Lismore at first light with 80-100 horse, 3-400 foot, plus hundreds of followers, in the company of the MacCarthys, O'Sullivans, McSheehys and O'Connors. He marched to Bewley at the tidal high point of the Finisk, where he demanded ser ...

| | | | | | The Battle: Encyclopedia II - Battle of Agincourt - The Battle The battle was fought in the defile formed by the wood of Agincourt and that of Tramecourt, at the northern exit of which the army under d'Albret, constable of France, had placed itself so as to bar the way to Calais. The night of the 24th of October was spent by the two armies on the ground, and the English had but little shelter from the heavy rain which fell. Early on the 25th, Henry deployed his army (800 men-at-arms, 5,000 archers). It is probable that the usual three "battles" were drawn up in line, each with its archers on the flanks ...
