General Pemberton had his army defending Vicksbug. General Johnston had more troops oustide of Vicksburg and these threatened the Union with attack from the rear. Gen Grant may have thought he could take Vicksburg defenses by attacking from the river or from Port Hudson side. But he realized he had to lay a siege against Vicksburg. To do this, he had to defeat the forces that were outside of the city and surround the city. The Battle of Jackson(May 14) was fought to cut off re-inforcements from giving aid to the Confederates at Vicksburg. Then final battle occurred at Battle of Champion's Hill(May 16). This forced the Confederates back into the Vicksburg defenses. Link to a Map of Union advance: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:VicksburgCampaignAprilJuly63.png
Russia was an Axis country when the Axis powers attacked the Allied nation of France. The Russians were working with Germany.
Yes! You do have to decla war before attacking or else there is no war and the opponent wouldnt know about it. If the opponent doesn't know about it there really is no war and nobody wins.
Not to count the Battle of Gettysburg, which was fought and concluded one day before the surrendering of Vicksburg, the major battle fought after was that of Chickamauga, on Sept. 19-20, 1863.
Well before General US Grant began to get serious about Vicksburg, the Union sent forty gunboats to bombard Vicksburg on July 12, 1862. After two weeks of cannon fire, Vicksburg remained in Confederate hands. At the time General Van Dorn commanded Vicksburg and he sent the ironclad, the Arkansas to disperse the Union flotilla on July 27, 1862.
No. It would have been a very brave pirate indeed who attempted to attack a Fleet which consisted of eleven ships, guarded by around 250 marines.
Moving by stealth into attacking positions.
Yes, mountain lions may emit a growl or hiss as a warning before attacking, but they can also attack silently.
It means to do something first. Such as attacking the enemy before you think they are about to attack you, i.e.' "We did a preemptive strike against the enemy."
You should have at least two soldiers before attacking another player. If you only send one soldier it will automatically die. However, at different stages in the game, the base number to attack with will increase due to the increased defense of your opponents. It is strongly recommended to scout the opponent before attacking.
Sponges possess the defense mechanism of releasing toxins that make a predator think twice before attacking them. The toxic gases are considered dangerous and any predator would not want to attack a sponge.

"Prevents" is a present tense verb; the question should be "What prevented invaders from attacking Ancient Egypt?" The answer is because of where Egypt is located. No kingdom wants to march their soldiers across a hot, dry desert to attack, also if you were to attack from the Nile River, you would be seen and Egyptians would be able to gather their powers and attack before you could.

No, not really. Your white blood cells are constantly attacking foreign invaders without you even noticing.
Castles are stationary structures, not very good at attacking. Castles are mainly for defence. One option would be to open a gate and let cavalry out to attack the opposing army and then hurry back before the enemy made it up to the gates.
