Naval Battle Of Salamis, 480 Bc

The entry of a navy the size of the Persian at the same time into the Salamis strait caused great disarray in their battle line. In addition, the apparent Greek disintegration turned into combat readiness, surprising the Persian admirals. Both navies adopted the classic formation in two or more battle lines to counter a likely enemy Diekplos, but the Persians, allowing themselves to be confined to their full strength, at once did not leverage the capabilities of their naval units-type, ie your best seamanship. In the simulation, at the naval strategic level, in order to guarantee local superiority or to be able to maintain a reserve force (the third line), the Egyptian force would not have been deployed to the north channel, so, too, the Greek navy would be all over. concentrated in the south channel. And at the tactical level, Ariabignes would have well understood his goals, knowing that it was necessary to deny the enemy the target of his concentrated strength so that he would not lose, and that it was then necessary to obtain successive engagements - at least two waves. of battle lines - to win by the weight of numbers and concentric involvings.

Battle Of Mantinea, September 418 Bc

In the simulation it will be considered the hypothesis of what might have been the final tactical result if the Argive left wing had been reinforced by exploring a technique similar to the oblique order (Battle of Leuctra, 371 BC). However, going a little further, it will also be considered how the confrontation would have occurred between a massive Argive device, with the phalanges of all wings in column (smaller front, greater depth), against an open spartan device (larger front, smaller depth). Thus, in the first instance, the premature flight of the less reliable wing would be prevented, in a second moment it would surprise the other side by applying a concentration of forces (elite troops) on the opposite side of the traditional one and, finally, delay the shock of the center and of the right wing, also reinforced (massed), contributing to the final imbalance of the opposing device.

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.

Jutland, 1916

In the simulation as soon as a major German force is detected, the British Cover Force will transition from cruising to combat navigation, reducing the distances between its northernmost squadrons - especially the 5th battleship - and the flagship of the fleet, the Lion, to follow our hypothesis raised about a higher Concentration of Forces. Also, it will be essential to exchange information between the Cover Fleet and the Battle Fleet, in order to follow our hypothesis regarding better Communications. From the outset our Great Fleet will attempt to obtain and maintain the initiative by forcing the enemy to react and concentrating our firepower on the decisive point (s), in order to follow our hypothesis as to a better Coordination.

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.

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.

World War One, 1914 - 1918

Considering the principal historical assumption that the Central Alliance had better military leadership capable of innovating (technology) and maneuvering (flexible planning), based primarily on the evolution of the Prussian / German General Staff since 1806, but on the other hand, lacking a more solid political orientation, which eventually led him to assume this (inappropriate) role, the basis of the simulation of this book will be as it would have been if the German political leadership, in particular, had been better understood from the outset, perhaps provoking a shorter war and a fairer and more consolidated future peace.

Naval Battle Of Lissa, 1866

The Battle of Lissa or Battle of Vis (Croatian: Bitka kod Visa) took place on 20 July 1866 in the Adriatic Sea near the Dalmatian island of Vis (Lissa in Italian) and was a significant victory for a fleet of the Austrian Empire over a numerically superior Italian. One of the main reasons for this poor performance was the internal rivalry between the commanders of the Italian fleet and, as a consequence, the Italian admirals Albini and Vacca, with their ships, did not face the enemy during the entire battle. We understand that the Austrian maneuver was consistent and the best possible according to the available means, and also had luck in its favor and the failures of the Italian fleet. So let s test a hypothesis in which the latter will have its main tactical shortcomings corrected.
