I would be grateful if a kind soul would give me a bullet=point type breakdown of the above battle.

I have tried reading the wiki description of the battle but I have a very short attention span and am unable to concentrate on 'chunks' of text. I am a bit better at understanding with diagrams and pictures.

Fibonacci - thanks for the YouTube clip. I understand it a bit more now. I hadn't heard about the giant explosion before.

It is so sad that 100 years down the line we are still all killing each other. All over the world there are battles of some sort of other going on.

Thanks
