| ARTICLES RELATED TO The Battle | | | |  The Battle: Encyclopedia II - Battle of Almansa - The BattleThe Bourbon army of about 25,000 was composed of French and Spanish troops in equal proportion, as well as an Irish regiment. Opposing them was a mainly Anglo-Portuguese force with strong Dutch, German, and French Huguenot elements.
The battle began with an artillery exchange. When Galway committed his reserves to an attack on the Bourbon center, Berwick unleashed a strong force of Franco-Spanish cavalry against the weakened Anglo-Portuguese lines, sweeping away the Portuguese horse. A general rout followed. Galway lost 5,000 men killed and 12,000 taken prisoner; of h ...

| | | | | | | The Battle: Encyclopedia II - Battle of Boydton Plank Road - The Battle On October 27 Hancock marched across Hatcher's Run, brushed aside Confederate pickets and moved around the Confederate flank towards Burgess Mill. The division under Gershon Mott crossed the Boydton Plank Road and attacked Wade Hampton's Confederate cavalry threatening to cut it off from the main Confederate lines. Ambrose P. Hill, who commanded the Confederate defenses in the area, reacted quickly to Hancock's threat. However, once his units moved to confront the Federals, Hill, in poor health, proved too sick to continue field command and ...

| | | | | The Battle: Encyclopedia II - Second Battle of Athenry - The Battle The battle apparently took place on the boggy plain and eskers to the east of the town, outside the towergate called the Laragh Gate. Twenty-three year old King Felim was one of the many casualties; a place called the White Stone, lying to the east of an esker overlooking Athenry upon the Laragh road, is traditionally pointed out as the place where his body was found.
The battle is reputed to have one of the highest death rates of any battle ever fought in Ireland, rating it on a par with Clontarf, Knockdoe and Aughrim. As stated abov ...

| | | | | The Battle: Encyclopedia II - Battle of Tali-Ihantala - The Battle Soviet attack was concentrated on the area east of the city of Viipuri (Vyborg), from the southern village of Tali to north towards Ihantala.

| | | | | The Battle: Encyclopedia II - Battle of Atlanta - The Battle Meanwhile, Hood took Gen. Hardee's troops on a march around the Union left flank, had Maj. Gen. Joseph Wheeler's cavalry march near Sherman's supply line, and had Maj. Gen. Benjamin Cheatham's corps attack the Union front. This was a Jackson-esque movement, which may have actually worked. However, it took longer than expected for Hardee to get in position, and during that time, Gen. McPherson had correctly deduced a possible threat to his left flank, and sent XVI Corps, his reserve, to help strengthen it. Gen. Hardee's force met this other f ...

On the 29th of August, 1813, two Negro slaves who were tending cattle outside the stockade, reported that "painted warriors" were in the vicinity. However, mounted scouts from the fort found no signs of the war party, and Beasley had the ...

| | | | | The Battle: Encyclopedia II - Knuckles the Echidna - The Battle Ever since Knuckles' introduction, nearly every Sonic continuity featuring him has had the most cliché scene in Sonic history: the recurring and unfinished battle between Sonic and Knuckles. Because of their differences, the two are constantly getting into arguments, which then devolve into outright fisticuffs. However, something always serves to interrupt the battle before it's end, thus putting the fans in suspense as to who is the more powerful of the two. Rather like the idea of one or more of the characters settling down and getting married, the end of this battle, and the final victor, is ...

| | | | | The Battle: Encyclopedia II - Battle of Bosworth Field - The Battle The battle lasted about two hours, and began well for the king. Unfortunately for him, Sir William Stanley chose to enter the fray on Henry's side, with Lord Thomas Stanley abstaining from the conflict all together.
Richard reached Ambion Hill first and his troops were well-rested going into the battle, while Henry's men had trouble lining up on the rough ground below (it is not clear why). Richard might have charged then, possibly slaughtering the disorganised Lancastrians, but he missed his chance. When Henry finally got ready, his ...

Battle of the Netherlands - 10 May.
In the morning of May the 10th 1940 the Dutch awoke by the sound of aircraft engines roaring in the sky. Nazi Germany had commenced operation Fall Gelb and attacked the Netherlands, Belgium, France and Luxembourg: in case of the Low Countries without a declaration of war given before hostilities.
In the night the German airforce violated Dutch airspace, traversed it and then disappeared to the west giving the Dutch the illusion the operation was directed to Englan ...
