    I have a funny feeling that the person who guessed the previous battle isn't going to post. The next person who sees this, post a battle pic

    He is correct.

    Chernov you might want to cut off the text below the picture: it's hard to read but at least the date is pretty easy to read and right before that is the name of the battle.

    Crap.

    Yes, it's Cold Harbor.

    Just a wild guess, is that the Battle of Midway?

    Actually, that is older than WW2, I would guess it is from the turn of the 20th century. Is that part of the Russo-Japanese War? The Battle of Tsushima, perhaps?

    The flags seem to be German. Some seem to be from Southern Germany, others from the North (I believe the black bull on a yellow ground is the coat of arms of Mecklenburg). The arms indicate late Medieval Age. I will have to dig a bit.

    Found it: Battle of Laupen that wasn't Mecklenburg but rather Uri!

    Companions charging hoplites, the helmet looks like the lion helmet of Alexander though the rider doesn't really fit the description.
    I will try "Chaeronea".

    Definitely Macedonian Cavalry, but then they're fighting Greeks.
    So it has to be in the time-frame when Phillip/Alexander subjugated the Greek City states.

    The snake symbol is Boetia is most likely, but maybe the Thracians.
    Battle of Methone?
