Poll of the Day > I think the Battle of Mogadishu (Black Hawk Down) is the greatest modern battle

(+) Yeah! (+)

It could be because of, like, news coverage though so we got to see a lot more of the battle (in '93) compared to, say, Desert Storm ('91)

The enemy showed fiercely effective tactics and the allies amazing heroism

Just finished watching a 4 hour video on the Roman civil war (50BC)

Very cool

cool

I think World War II was my favorite war.

Here's a video about the Battle of Midway from the Japanese perspective for the most part. You should definitely check it out

The August 1996 Battle of Grozny is up there. A Chechen force outnumbered 8:1 infiltrated the city, took control of key infrastructure, and surrounded most of the Russian strongpoints in the city. Their force rapidly grew from turncoats and recruitment, and they fended off several armored relief columns with stolen rocket launchers. In truly classic fashion, the Russian forces outside the city counter-surrounded the Chechens and threatened total annihilation. However, at that point Russia's strategic situation was so poor their general was willing to negotiate a ceasefire, which led to a peace treaty. It was a stunning decisive victory on every level.
