    Battle of Tali-Ihantala, Finnish vs Soviets as part of the Continuation War. "...largest battle in the history of the Nordic countries." Check out the stats on this battle, those Finns really do kick arse!

    Yep Tali-Ihantala. I've been out all day so sorry for the delays.

    Edit: Need to spread my rep around. Would anybody mind repping Spear Dog for me?

    Thanks, I lucked out on that one - I was looking up the panzerfaust 60 to get a timeline and there was the photo! Here's an easy one (also with somewhat distinctive weapons), to make up for luck:

    Is it the Battle of Boyne? I can tell because of the landscape, the river was a barrier facing williams army? Also James' army was defending, you can tell because there is a city? at the bottom of the valley.

    Also the Battle artillery, so that made me think Boyne

    It is the battle of the Boyne. Those guns are often used as a symbol of the battle, and several are on display at the battle site which is a heavily promoted tourist destination in Ireland. The Dutch Blue Guard played a major role in this battle; one of my favourite units in ETW.
