European Wars In The 16th Century, 1494 To 1598
In the simulation, the German Habsburg House, under the leadership of the emperor Charles V player, will deny its support to the Catholic Church and the Pope in their war against the Protestant Reformation in their territories. This conciliatory tone is intended to keep any religious differences within the Holy Roman-German Empire under control, in favor of political and social peace. On the other hand, there is a calculated risk of losing the support of the Papal States and the Spanish Habsburgs (radical Catholics) in the war against the Ottoman Empire.
Battle Of Marathon, September 12, 490 Bc
In the simulation will be considered the historical operational strategy of Datis, which is to get an involvement on Athens, but preserving a tactical force in Marathon able to maintain the initiative, obtaining a tactical victory. This would be obtained either by the destruction of the Greek army on the spot, or by its retraction under pressure from the Persian cavalry to the enclosed gates of the city-state.
Battle Of Megiddo, April 1479 Bc
The Egyptian advantage, in the simulation, will be the principle of applied mass concentrated in a limited space and timeframe, tending to surprise the enemy by the violence and speed of lightning . The balance of the Egyptian deployment will be based primarily on deep mutual support within each zone of action of the divisions, provided by the massing of means against limited sectors of the Canaanite defensive front.
Naval Battle Of Lade, 494 Bc
In the simulation, the tactical maneuver will have three phases, the first being already done, the approach; the second, ongoing, the maneuver phase, when the Periplos (double overflowing) will be attempted, ending in the third and fourth stages, continuous combat with throwing weapons, and approaches and assaults on poops. enemies. In the case of the Persians, simulated in this book, it will be considered that they will follow the classic maneuvers of the time, suffering from a lower dose of initiative and flexibility because they remained in a linear, mashed formation, which aimed, above all, at a greater control over their different fleets from subjugated peoples.
Battle Of The Hidaspes River, 326 Bc
In the simulation, the hypothesis of what would have been the result if the Hindus had explored the strength of their organizational structure - balanced formations relying on mutual support between their weapon systems, elephants, chariots, cavalry, archers and infantry, like pieces on a large chessboard - to defend themselves on the left while attacking and winning in the center and on the right. Then they would end the battle where Alexander was.
Battle Of Azincourt, October 25, 1415
As an outline of the tactical maneuver that will be tested in the wargame - simulated battle - of chapter 3, we present the model of the Sicilian Opening, where we will consider a hypothesis (compared to chess) in which Azincourt was a great French attack of opportunity that shocked head-on against a solid - ground and weapons support - English defensive position. It could have been different if Constable Albret and Marshal Boucicault had been heard, and after updating the battle plan - by the terrain and the enemy situation - had taken a more appropriate offensive device. When an Arab or Double Perpendicular battle order would then be employed, that is, simultaneous pressure on two flanks - in this simulation at the northern and southern entrances of the Tramecourt-Azincourt clearing - which would require numerical, geographical, and moral superiority.
Battle Of Poitiers, September 19, 1356
In the simulation of the battle of Poitiers we will take into account that the center of gravity of both maneuvers (defensive and offensive) was the support on obstacles - natural and / or artificial -, which in the case of the English compensated their numerical inferiority; and the possibility of maneuvers looking for gaps in the defensive device should the French remain on horseback. As for the French infantry, we will understand that this force led by the constable Brienne, before the king, compensated for the smaller quantity (3 of the 15-20 thousand men) with a better quality. Considering the English historical device maintained, a Cuneus battle order will be employed by the French, combining the clash of an infantry over the center with subsequent flanking and encirclement by the cavalry.
Battle Of Zama, October 19, 202 Bc
In Technique we will simulate, that better advised, Hannibal would have predicted the evolution of the training of the Roman army and in one of the decisive actions of his plan would not have wasted his elephants against the legionaries but instead employed them against the horses, still susceptible to the instinct to the fear of these. The Carthaginians will employ the reinforced oblique Jomini battle order on the attacking flank (as, although superior in quantity they were inferior in quality): the shock of the Carthaginian line will follow from the right wing with the elephants leading the cavalry Carthaginian against that of the Roman equites - less accustomed to elephants than the Numidians; continuing the infantry tug of war in the center; until the engagement of the Numid cavalry on the left.
Battle Of Bannockburn, June 24, 1314
As an outline of the tactical maneuver that will be tested in the wargame - simulated battle - of chapter 3, we present the model of the Queen s Gambit Refused Opening, where we will consider a hypothesis (compared to chess) that employs a combination of the orders of battle of the Crusaders (or staggered flanks on discontinuous lines) with double Perpendicular (or forward pressure combined with flank attacks). A central English division will engage the most Scottish troops ahead, while the north and south English divisions will invest for the Stirling and Falkirk access respectively.
Ecnomus Naval Campaign And Battle, 256 Bc
In the simulation we will test what it would have been like if a Carthaginian squadron tried to engage - not fix - Roman consular squadrons (the two at the forefront wedge), another squadron delayed the approach of the Roman reinforcement (base of the wedge) while a third Carthaginian squadron attacked. to destroy Roman transports. As for technology, the state of the art of war then associated with the available scientific knowledge leads us to simulate what the Ecnomus campaign and naval battle would have been like if the Carthaginian Navy had adopted and developed the use of incendiary artifacts such as ceramic pots with fire, thrown by siege machines like the ballistas. On the other hand, it is certain that the Romans at this stage of the war would not use such devices for fear of associating hooking with fire.
