		Soon the line of battle is formed; the Twelfth Virginia on the left of the brigade, the Sixth Virginia on the right, the brigade sharpshooters on the right of the Sixth.
		I had lost my bayonet at the battle of the Wilderness, and glad of having done so, as I was thus lawfully relieved of that much weight on a march, I had never bothered myself about getting another, never having expected to get close enough to an armed enemy to need it.

	Scots Isles and Highlands -- 1050-1493 AD (DBA III/77)
		The biggest historical battle involving this type of army was Harlaw, 1411 AD, where a Gaelic host of perhaps 6,000-10,000 men mustered initially from the Isles and West Highlands of Scotland marched to sack the Highland capital of Inverness, before striking towards Aberdeen on the North-East coast.
		Since at various times the Lords could openly intrigue with the English (as in 1468 with Edward IV) their power would clearly have to be broken eventually if Scottish independence were to survive: the first forfeiture of the Lordship of the Isles was in 1475, by which time the writing was clearly on the wall.
		Battles in passes and to defend fords were common for obvious strategic reasons, and several obscure and lonely Highland glens bear Gaelic names pointing to ancient and forgotten clan battles.
