I'm guessing, but is it Lee at Gettysburg?

**Ironduke** · 10-21-2007, 16:37 PM

Grant at Vicksburg?

Bigfella · 10-21-2007, 17:05 PM

Lee at Chancellorsville?

I'd say Forrest at Brice's Crossroads, a tactical masterpiece that Forrest literally saw unfold in his mind, and he said exactly what would happen before it did. He absolutely hit it on the nose, including the timing of each point and event in the battle.

He had gone from being an amateur to become the master of the professional officer class, culminating that day in the toughest OJT in the world, the soldier's crucible of combat.

Stonewall Jackson

Maj. Gen. Thomas J. Jackson's Valley Campaign of 1862 is one of the most studied campaigns of military history.

Close. Grant at Shiloh. The battle taught Grant a couple of lessons 1) that running off the enemy was not enough; you had to pursue him relentlessly, and 2) that if 2 opposing forces were equally unprepared to battle, attack immediately; don't spend time increasing your preparedness because the enemy will do the same (mistake that McClelland made)...

Your turn.

What Anglo-Saxon lord let William cross the river?

**Ironduke** · 10-23-2007, 05:54 AM

Wow... no guesses.

Alright, what battle did Harold Godwinson win before losing to the Normans at Hastings?

The battle of Stamford bridge, after which his army force marched South to meet William near Hastings.
