Name that Battle!

[General Brewster]

I was hoping it would be you that got it! Looking forward to your depiction of choice

[Abdülmecid I]

Thanks, mate! To be honest, it's not very easy to find new battles anymore, without being a bit too obscure. Next image is not particular enough to be really helpful, so it's accompanied by two photos concerning the modern reenactment, following the battle's 200-years anniversary:

I very much agree with you there. I find it increasingly hard to find something that wouldn't be a dead giveaway. Might this one be the battle of Somosierra? Probably not as that involved Polish Hussars but worth a try.

rather than complaining, just start wars yourself, so that you'll have pictures to post!!

You, warmonger, you!

[Lord Oda Nobunaga]

Almost certain the guys at the bottom are Spanish.

[General Brewster]

Same.

[Abdülmecid I]

Somosierra is very close, in terms of opponents, geography, result and slightly time, but it's not the correct answer. Given that they celebrate the battle's anniversary, the clothes of the tourists can give a hint regarding the season. The gentleman indeed look Spanish, but they're not. Their effectiveness however inspired a Spanish institution, whose uniform still resembles that of the depicted unit.

[General Brewster]

Could it be Evora?

[Morticia Iunia Bruti]

The general has been repped! ...

Thank you Abdul for borrowing rep!

[Abdülmecid I]

My apologies, I completely forgot about it. It's not Evora, but the battle in question did indeed occur during the same month. It was also a decisive defeat for the Spanish. In the image below, you can view the victorious general and his easily distinguishable outlook:

[General Brewster]

That is Jean-Baptiste Bessíéres after the battle of Burgosi think?

[Lord Oda Nobunaga]

One is Lasalle I think. The other might be Bessieres. It is one of the battles of 1808. I would answer but I don't want to go next.

[Abdülmecid I]

Yes, they are indeed Lasalle and Bessières, but Burgos is not the correct answer. You have essentially found the answer, as it's the only other major battle, where these two commanders fought together in Spain.

[General Brewster]

Must be the Battle of Medina de Rioseco then... otherwise I dont deserve to win

[Abdülmecid I]

Medina de Rioseco is the correct answer! I chose that specific battle, because I had mentioned it, when I guessed the previous one about Bailen. The gentlemen who looked like Spaniards were supposed to represent the Gendarmerie of the Empire. Their impact on Spain was very strong upon the country's police institutions, as it can be seen even today, in the extraordinary hats of the Guardia Civil:

[General Brewster]

Thank you for the explanation. I had looked at that battle earlier but I couldnt really find paintings about the cavalry charge so I thought it was wrong.

[General Brewster]

Alexander fought the battle.

[Abdülmecid I]

The Persian Gates, I presume? I can't think of any other battle, where the Macedonians were ambushed while crossing a gorge?

[General Brewster]

Aye, sadly I cannot rep you.
