Yep! You got it, the battle of Avaí during the Paraguayan War (or war of the triple alliance), your turn.
Then, as throngs of his enemies bore down upon him and one of his followers said, "They are making at thee, O King," "Who else, pray," said Antigonus, "should be their mark? But Demetrius will come to my aid." This was his hope to the last, and to the last he kept watching eagerly for his son; then a whole cloud of javelins were let fly at him and he fell.

Battle of Grunwald? I don't think those are Mongols but then again people sucked at depictions back then so it could be Battle of Legnica as well.
I said it was a South American war, the red flag, the blue uniforms and the campesinos gave it away.

Nothing, sorry! ......you have already found the battle!

"Pompeius, after having finished the war against Mithridates, when he went to call at the house of Poseidonios, the famous teacher of philosophy, forbade the lictor to knock at the door, as was the usual custom, and he, to whom both the eastern and the western world had yielded submission, ordered the fasces to be lowered before the door of science."
Pliny the Elder, Naturalis Historia, 7, 112

Battle of Seival? Part of the farroupilha revolution in the brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul, probably the proclamation of its independency (which was lost in the end of the war)

Twas Seival indeed good sir! That was pretty damn fast.

I'm going to assume it's elements of the 92nd Division in Italy, either near the Gothic line or liberating a town after breaking through said line. Don't know any specific battle though.
Yep it is in Italy, although it isnt the 92nd division, but since there were hundreds of cities liberated it would be quite hard to find it... so just tell me the division that did it (quite easy i guess)
