    Copenhagen, 1801. This is the first naval battle that I managed to identify immediately. The Danish and British flags are clearly visible. Otherwise, all naval battles look the same to me

    Well, initially I thought of Lutzen, then Marengo came to mind and when I was about to check Friedland, I say... let's give Jena a try! So, it must be Jena, the famous and spoiled big brother of poor Auerstadt.

    Try to reload the page. It happens quite frequently to me, too, in case the image is uploaded to some sites, like postimg. That's why I either use imgur or prefer to just post a link to the pic.

    Jena it is! Sadly, I can't rep you, so I'd like to ask someone else to give the rep and I'll rep them back.

    Coral Sea picture is obscure indeed, it's just fortunate that I posted it one time in this thread and I remembered the picture

    Siege of Caen or Rouen (Henry V's campaign in Normandy).

    Siege of Meaux (1421/22)?

    On an eternal crusade for reason, logics, catholicism and chocolate. Mostly chocolate, though.

    I can heartily recommend the Italian Wars mod by Aneirin.
    In exile, but still under the patronage of the impeccable Aikanár, alongside Aneirin. Humble patron of Cyclops, Frunk and Abdülmecid I.

    wild guess, but siege of Harfleur? because if i recall correctly, that was prelude to battle of Agincourt and if it is Henry V campaign in France during 100 years war, it would make sense it would be that siege

    Harfleur is correct. Exactly 600 years ago right now it was going on. Your turn!
