Battles for Tsaritsyn: 1918–20
In March 1917, Czar Nicholas II abdicated the throne after three years of disastrous warfare against the Central Powers. With that, a new Provisional Government, composed of numerous factions from across the political spectrum, took control, headed by Alexander Kerensky, a center-left parliamentarian. His paramount goal was to keep Russia in the war and demonstrate to the Anglo-Allies that his new republican regime would remain a formidable player in European affairs.

The ensuing “Kerensky Offensive” in July was led by Gen. Aleksei Brusilov, one of Russia’s better commanders. It was initially successful, but the German counterattack shattered Brusilov’s force. That defeat destroyed the popular support for the Provisional Government, emboldening various far-left parties to become militant in their opposition to it, most notably the Bolsheviks. Headquartered in Petrograd, they openly called for a communist seizure of power via revolution.

Operation Lorraine-Alsace: 1944
By Ty Bomba

On 16 September 1944, Adolf Hi**er suddenly signaled for silence at the daily “Fuehrer Conference” situational briefing in his “Wolf’s Lair” headquarters in East Prussia. After another moment, he pointed to the map and stated: “I have just made a momentous decision! I shall go over to the counterattack here, out of the Ardennes, with the objective Antwerp!”

Ch. 6, New king, New War
..War Moves South
By that date Cromwell had learned that Leslie indeed had marched out of Stirling, but to the south rather than the east. Charles, reasoning that the war in Scotland was lost, thought he might yet succeed by taking the fight to England. The army departed Stirling on 31 July. Cromwell had no choice but to follow, and he was already three days behind.

Invasion of England
Charles’ march south was a gamble, but with the Scots on the edge of defeat he had little choice. The strategic objective of his campaign was no different than his father’s in 1642: he had to take London for its political cachet, and he had to garner enough supporters to support an army capable of fighting Parliament to at least a draw. He already had a head start on the former. Regarding the latter, his hope was that he would not only rouse his father’s supporters, but that his alliance with the Scots would encourage English Presbyterians to rally to him.

Royal Procession
The Scots army marched south from Stirling, bound for the same western route followed by Hamilton’s army in 1648. Unlike Hamilton’s march, Charles’ went smoothly and fast. It took just over a week to cross the border and approach Carlisle. In what should have been a warning to Charles, the town refused him entry.

Another ominous sign was the shortage of willing recruits, despite the army being on its best behavior toward civilians. Some increase in strength was vital. The army crossed into England barely 12,000 strong, and—as was so often the case with Royalist armies—poorly equipped with fi****ms. The infantry regiments accordingly had a large portion of pikes, and some men were even armed with bows and arrows. There were no reserves and no other columns coming south from Scotland...

Eagles of Rome II: The Era of Scipio

Carthaginians
..Carthage was a city-state founded in 814 BC by Phoenicians from Tyre. In the 7th century, following all of Phoenicia’s absorption into the Neo-Assyrian Empire, Carthage became independent and expanded as a naval power that dominated the western Mediterranean by the 4th century. The Latin word for Phoenician was Poenicus, hence the Anglicized term “Punic”.

The original core of the Carthaginian army was also citizen soldiers, which included an elite “Sacred Band” of heavy infantry and heavy cavalry. After the 4th century, those units rarely served away from the homeland, taking the field only in emergencies, such as invasions. In their place, most of the army came to be composed of recruits from local “Libyan” (North African) tribes and mercenaries.

The various contingents were all led by Carthaginian officers, who were career professionals. Theoretically, that should have given them an edge over the Romans, whose commanders were civil officials appointed to lead armies—but that was not always the case in practice.
Libyan troops were of two general types: hoplites and light infantry. Iberia provided medium infantry armed with short swords. During the Second Punic War, Carthaginian hoplites were often equipped with captured Roman arms and armor...

Forgotten Victory: Burma 1945
By Javier Romero Muñoz
..Race to Rangoon

Despite its already impressive successes, it still remained uncertain whether the Allies could take Rangoon before the onset of the monsoon ended large-scale operations until September. The British were operating at the end of a tenuous supply line, and Rangoon was 390 miles from Mandalay.

Given the logistical situation, Slim could only support the advance of one of his two corps toward Toungoo, Pegu and finally Rangoon. He chose IV Corps, reinforcing it with a division from ###III Corps that would be kept supplied from the air. The IV Corps would advance toward Rangoon, while the depleted ###III Corps would take the Yenangyaung oilfield...

Forgotten Front: Italy, June 1944–May 45

On 5 June 1944, Rome fell to Allied forces; then, in the early hours of the next day, the Overlord landings took place in Normandy. When US Fifth Army commander Gen. Mark W. Clark got that news, he exclaimed disappointedly that his command “wouldn’t have the headlines for the fall of Rome for even one day!”

That feeling of exasperation was common among Allied personnel in Italy. For example, CBS correspondent Eric Sevareid wrote that those prosecuting the campaign in the Mediterranean had suddenly “become performers without an audience.”
That demotion to the status of a strategic backwater—a forgotten front—lasted for the rest of the war and after. The Italian front generally conjures in people’s mind images analogous to the stalemate on the western front during World War I rather than the blitzkrieg campaigns of 1939–45. Salerno, Cassino, Anzio, the Gothic Line and the Winter Line battles stand as symbols of mismanaged operations and needless sacrifice. It is no coincidence one of the most widely read antiwar novels, Catch-22, is set within the Italian campaign.

Ch. 4, OKM Plans, Second Conquest

Training
The invasion troops were given specialized training involving the boats to be used for landing. For the most part this amounted to learning how to debark quickly onto the beach.
Surprisingly, little of this training took place on the water, probably because the boats were still undergoing modifications and could not be used. One major exercise was attempted, a small flotilla of boats sailing a mile out to sea, then turned toward the shore. The formation broke down completely, many boats never reached shore. A near collision panicked the troops in one barge. They rushed away from the anticipated impact, unbalancing the barge and causing it to capsize.
More practice clearly was needed, but none was undertaken.

Landing Plan
The entire invasion consisted of three waves. The first was to secure a lodgment on each of the four beaches, then advance to join them into a single beachhead. The second wave included all the invasion’s motorized units. They would be used to complete the bridgehead, then breakout and drive to the final objective line. The third wave was more infantry to add heft to the force onshore and ensure the final objective line could be properly manned.

First Wave
The first wave had by far the toughest assignment and accordingly was given the most detailed plan and considerable support. It was to arrive at all four beaches simultaneously, requiring careful coordination of departure times. German inexperience in seaborne operations made it highly unlikely each of the four flotillas would be able to so control its speed that they all made landfall at the same time.
