    Hannibal and Canne. Destroyed something like 70,000 Romans. Single bloodiest day in warfare history.


    Battle of Trafalgar.

    Napoleonic Wars - Austerlitz and Waterloo.

    Any battle in the American Civil War will have a ton of info.

    Verdun. The German strategy was to win a war of attrition. The problem was they weren't counting on getting bled dry themselves. Just a messy messy, 10 month long ordeal

          Why? Why not an ancient battle like Salamis or Canne?? No guns at all. And much of tactics used in modern battles were first used there. Ever hear of double envelopment?

            The Civil War may have started out with soldiers lined up in Napoleonic type formations, but it ended with trench warfare, rifled barrels, repeating small arms, cartridges, machine guns, ships with rotating turrets, submarines etc.

            Anyways good luck in your search.
