Looks familiar... the Battle of Britain?

Although I am reminded of the bombing scare on the West coast of USA.

**paleologos** · March 20, 2019, 04:44 PM

Well, make up your mind.

battle of Los Angeles

**paleologos** · March 20, 2019, 05:56 PM

Battle of Los Angeles is correct, as Lord Oda pointed out it was an overreaction of trigger happy Americans to a perceived air raid.
I think Cookiegod should get this one as he was assertive with his answer.
I cannot give the point right away due to spreading limitations, so if any of you would oblige...

**chesser2538** · March 20, 2019, 06:36 PM

I would agree. Audentis Fortuna juvat

**Cookiegod** · March 21, 2019, 05:22 AM

Well, I was more specific, but Oda was first. He can have it if he wants.

**Lord Oda Nobunaga** · March 21, 2019, 02:34 PM

Do not want.

Battle of Baghavard?

**Lord Oda Nobunaga** · March 21, 2019, 06:02 PM

I've seen the portrait before. It looks like one of Nader Shah's campaigns. Fighting through one of the passes, either in the Caucasus or the area of Afghanistan. There is also what looks to be a town in the background.

**Cookiegod** · March 22, 2019, 03:35 AM

You are both correct. In what is more commonly known as the battle of Yeghevard (1735), the persian vanguard of just 15000 men under Nader Shah annihilated an Ottoman army of 80000 in an open field battle, whilst it itself only suffered minor casualties, thus deciding the war.

Keep in mind that the Ottoman military still was very formidable in those years. Austria started a war against them hoping that most of their forces would be bound in the east and still managed to be beaten very heavily.

Brews, your turn! Someone rep him for me please.

**General Brewster** · March 22, 2019, 06:52 AM

It's a battle.. but not quite in the sense we always post here.

**Cookiegod** · March 22, 2019, 08:35 AM

French suburbs at least once per year?

**General Brewster** · March 22, 2019, 09:00 AM

Good choice but no

**chesser2538** · March 22, 2019, 10:23 AM

The Battle of Beverwijk.
The great clash between supporters of two of Hollands top football teams. The fighting was intense, with the superior Feynoord fans eventually encircling the Ajax fans who promptly fled for their lives.
