    You could say it were the Hapsburgs, so that's Spain+ one nation+ another nation vs something else. I want the name of the battle and why it was important.

    Hmmm, that's Napoleon himself, by the battle flags, they look like Austrian troops, maybe Russian as well, I'll take a guess and say Austerlitz.

    If there weren't any flags I would look at the uniforms, but I also noticed a mamluk in the left, so I knew it was one of the early napoleon's invasions.

    are the french the ones in the distance, because those look more like russians to me.

    EDIT: holy sh*t, silly me, its a battle between russians and french, i expect Napoleons french, perhaps in the early dasy of teh invasion of russia.

    EDIT 2 : i got it, i had the picture in my napoleon documents, its the battle of Borodino (more specific:Nansouty's heavy cavalry attacks squares of Russian guardsmen to the left of Semyanovskaya (background) to support Ney's attack.), no?

    You're right, if you see, the russians are holding the redoubts with their ridiculous amount of cannons, while napoleon charged his cavalry. Your turn now.
