Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. While Equestria has been a land of peace and harmony for much of its history, it has also seen its fair share of battles.

This anthology of past battles aims to give the reader an unbiased view and historic perspective of some of the most pivotal moments in Equestrian military history as well as a view into the minds of the most brilliant and eccentric commanders of their time.

These are their stories.

Daring Do faces her oldest and most nefarious enemy.

This story is a sequel to Chaos Hold'em Poker

Princess Celestia has had enough of politics for one day. To get her mind off things, she invites her friends Queen Cleopatra VII., Queen Hatshepsut and Queen Hippolyta over for a game of Bridge.

But when the Amazon has to decline, the two Egyptian ladies are far more interested in talking about Celestia's impending marriage, which happens to be the very topic she wanted to get away from for the night.

What would happen, if Discord, Lord of Chaos, held a bi-weekly poker round with Mongol Warlord Genghis Khan, Roman Emperor Caligula, German Poet Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and Greek Philosopher Socrates?

You'd think their conversations would be pretty interesting, with a clear distinction between madness, savagery, reason and poetry, right? Well, you'd be right, but probably not in the way you thought.

Now what do you think would happen, if for some reason they had their poker night at Fluttershy's house?

God and the last Demon Lord are dead, killed in the Great War between Angels, Demons and Fallen Angels. Since the end of that war, the Three Great Powers of Earth have begun their long road towards peace. To compensate for the lack of real battle experience, young devils have been competing in what is known as the Rating Game.

When Celestia gets an unexpected call, the Elements of Harmony, Spike and Princess Luna will have to face the unorthodox group led by Rias Gremory, the Crimson-haired Ruin Princess.

In a match between the peaceful, yet battle-hardened ponies and the inexperienced, but talented devil youths, who will carry the day? Who will claim the title of Strongest Little Sister, Princess Luna or Rias Gremory? And who will be stronger, a perverted teenager with a dragon sealed within him or a real life baby dragon?
