Naval Battle Of Lade, 494 Bc [EPUB ebook] 

In the Naval Battle of Lade, given the numerical superiority of the Persians, their navy had no problem surrounding the Ionians, though unfolded in three lines. Both navies planned to leverage the capabilities of their standard naval units, among others the structural ones, the characteristics of the weapon systems (pitch and ram or spurs), the speeds (driving force of the rowers), ie the Persians their best seamanship, the Ionians your best combat on board. In the simulation, the tactical maneuver will have three phases, the first being already done, the approach; the second, ongoing, the maneuver phase, when the Periplos (double overflowing) will be attempted, ending in the third and fourth stages, continuous combat with throwing weapons, and approaches and assaults on poops. enemies. In the case of the Persians, simulated in this book, it will be considered that they will follow the classic maneuvers of the time, suffering from a lower dose of initiative and flexibility because they remained in a linear, mashed formation, which aimed, above all, at a greater control over their different fleets from subjugated peoples.
