Lepanto is an interesting battle. Basically a battle between two armies fought on ship decks. The Turks outnumbered the Christians, but were overwhelmingly archers. The Christians were mostly heavy infantry in plate armor. Turks rained arrows on them as the ships approached, but with little effect. Once they closed the Christian soldiers cut through the Turks like a scythe through wheat.

Let us please not forget Don John of Austria who steeled the spirit of the coalition and lead them to victory.
