Battlefield
DICE military franchise
A battlefield is a place where a battle is fought—the ground where armies clash.
The term extends to any arena of struggle or conflict: the political battlefield, a battlefield of ideas.
After combat ends, the site remains a battlefield in memory: They visited the Gettysburg battlefield.
