		The goal of a "battle of attrition" is to inflict greater loss on the enemy than you suffer yourself; many battles of the First World War were intentionally (Battle of Verdun) or unintentionally (Battle of the Somme) attrition battles.
		A "battle of annihilation" is one in which the defeated party is destroyed in the field, such as the French fleet at the Battle of the Nile.
		A "decisive battle" is one of particular importance; by bringing hostilities to an end, such as the Battle of Hastings, or as a turning point in the fortunes of the belligerents, such as the Battle of Stalingrad.

		Battles may be small scale, only involving a handful of individuals, perhaps two squads, up to battles on army levels where hundreds of thousands may be engaged in a single battle at one time.
		Battles are, on the whole, made up of a multitude of individual combats and the individual will usually only experience a small part of the events.
		Battles are almost invariably named after some feature of the battlefield geography, such as the name of a town, forest or river.
