		The Germans actively pursued a strategy of attrition in the Battle of Verdun, the sole purpose of which was to "bleed the French Army white".
		At the start of the Battle of Berlin, the last major assault of World War II, the Russians attacked over the river Oder against German troops dug in on the Seelow Heights, which are about 50 km east of Berlin.
		Entrenchment allowed the Germans, who were massively outnumbered, to survive a barrage from the largest concentration of artillery in history; it also allowed the Germans to inflict tens of thousands of casualties on the Soviets, thanks to the marshy land which lay between the river and the heights, before being driven west.

	battle of oenophyta

		In this period between the Persian Wars and the Peloponnesian War, alliances and leagues sprang up and collapsed, although there was very little prolonged warfare.
		Their victory at Oenophyta allowed Athens to defeat Aegina later in the year, and to finish the construction of the Long Walls to the Athenian port of Piraeus (an action opposed by Sparta).

	Kaikohe, New Zealand
		Two months after Hone Heke's attack on Kororareka (Russell) in May 1845 he fought a battle with British troops at Lake Omapere (which is only 2m deep and is fed by hot springs near its southwest corner).
		A few weeks later, in battle at Ohaeawai (northeast of Kaikohe), British troops again suffered heavy losses.
		The battlefield is now marked by a simple little Maori church (1871) dedicated to St Michael, within the ramparts of the pa. Six months later Hone Heke was decisively defeated in the battle of Ruapekapeka.

	DNZB / BIOGRAPHY
		Those responsible for the defence of Kororareka have been much criticised, and certainly Phillpotts's inexperience and a want of sound judgement were evident during the battle.
		In the disastrous attack on the pa on 1 July 1845 Phillpotts led the party of seamen who formed part of the main body of the storming party.
		After his death part of Phillpotts's scalp was removed by one of Ohaeawai's defenders, to be used by a tohunga to divine the future course of the war.
