Re: The official AHF other eras quiz thread
hi, both of you,
Ironmachine is right, in this case, although, from a naval historian´s point of view, the term "battle" which is in common use is slightly exaggerated if you look at the participants and the losses.
Rob, the hostile ships are showing the red-and-white Danebrog flag and not the Italian green-white-red tricolore.
over to Spain, again ...

Re: The official AHF other eras quiz thread
Well, if you thought that the term "battle" was slightly exaggerated in regard to the Heligoland combat, then what about this one?
Yes, the question is which battle is depicted there?- Polar bear
