The Battle of Wörth, also known as the Battle of Reichshoffen or as the Battle of Fröschwiller, occurred on 6 August 1870 in the opening stages of the Franco-Prussian War (A war between France and Prussia that ended the Second Empire in France and led to the founding of the German empire; 1870-1871).

Hudson, N.Y. He served with distinction on the Niagara frontier in the War of 1812 and later became commandant of cadets and instructor of infantry tactics at West Point (1820–28), even though he was not a West Point graduate.
In the Mexican War, Worth first fought under Gen. Zachary Taylor in the northern campaign that ended with the capture of Monterrey.
Although he was an excellent commander in battle, Worth injured his reputation by his ungrateful and insubordinate conduct toward Scott, who had been his benefactor.

Digimon Digital Card Battle places you in the role of a card battler, living in a cyberworld where entire cities are dedicated to card battles and the arenas that house them.
Due to the inherent simplicity, battles are often highly predictable and lose their luster after the initial dozen or so games.
While the polygonal battles are done nicely enough, they add a considerable amount of downtime to the matches, so more impatient players will prefer the faster pace when graphical battles are toggled off.

 Ogre Battle for PlayStation Review - PlayStation Ogre Battle Review
As clichandeacute; as the story may be, Ogre Battle stands apart from other strategy games thanks to fiercely nonlinear gameplay and the 13 resultant endings.
This lack of control is neither a plus nor a minus, however, as even the most hard-core role-players would likely become fed up with the frequency of battles and the sheer number of characters to keep track of.
While the battles take place on a static hunk of 3D real estate and a few of the revamped spells effects are polygonal, the game still retains a decidedly 16-bit, hand-drawn look and feel.

 Battle of Worth, 1870   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Quite early in the morning we had already heard brisk firing, and gathered from it that probably the enemy were making a demonstration against the troops of the Vth and XIth Army Corps in course of changing their bivouacs.
Directly I learnt of this state of affairs, I ordered the Vth Army Corps not to offer battle, and to avoid whatever might precipitate a new engagement, because I was unwilling, before the concentration of all my forces, to provoke a pitched battle, especially on such unfavourable ground.
By this time Kirchbach had convinced himself of the considerable reinforcement of the enemy's front of attack, but was unwilling to allow Marshal MacMahon time to complete his deployment, and, encouraged by the advance begun from the south by the XIth Army Corps, had decided on the attack on Elsasshausen-Fröschweiler.

At the time the battle between the golf club on one side, and the allotment holders and Birmingham City Council on the other, threw up some important questions concerning planning law.
If the decision was taken to continue the fight, it is true that much more council tax payers cash could have been spent on a pointless battle.
But Billesley Lane Allotment holders - who had to vacate the land yesterday - would probably say that it was worth spending the cash if the council wanted to maintain the trust of citizens, because only it can decide whether or not something is worth fighting for on behalf of the people.
