Most Interesting Military Battle (for a report)

Strategic in the sense that Lindon B. was a giant pussy and amazing in the sense that the north came out on top despite getting their asses handed to them.
 
Gettysburg is a good one. lots of different turning points to talk about, good strategy and bad strategy played out on both sides, as well as major implications for the war overall. easy paper topic.
 
everybody is voting ww2 stuff, do a civil war battle like Antietam, or you could be really different and do a battle from an easily forgotten war (Mexican-American war)
 
o wow.... thought u were talking about the post... i must be on here to often to be getting that defensive from dealing with d-bag NSers. :/
 
Or better yet do the battle at chosin reservoir. Marines get surrounded by 60,000 chinese which left them outnumbered two to one. Instead of getting airlifted out they broke free and kicked ass all the way across Korea in the dead of winter. Taking with them thousands of refugees. The heavy casualties inflicted on the Chinese ultimately enabled the U.S. Forces to maintain a foothold in Korea.

No one remembers that shit.

Market Garden is really interesting, one of a kind being the biggest airborne operation ever attempted. There's also lots of debate surrounding it, reasons why it failed etc.. I wrote a short dissertation on it a couple of years ago
