Oi!

É um texto sobre História -- a batalha de Culloden. Encontrei explicação em inglês sobre o que é isso, mas não uma correspondência em português.

Obrigado.

The Scots had always found the 'Highland charge' to be effective against the English.

neutral  Salvador Scofano and Gry Midttun: O idioma alvo é o português, não o espanhol. Se tiver algum exemplo em português, mudo para agree.

  -> Sem dúvida...Mas Highland é Highland, nome da região na Escócia e fica a mesma coisa tanto em espanhol como em português.

Reference: "Highland charge"

Reference information:
Eu procurei a definição pq tive muito poucas aulas de História em língua inglesa-

The Highland charge was a battlefield tactic used by the clans of the Scottish Highlands in the 17th and 18th century. It was developed as a response to the evolution of firearms. Previously, Highlanders had fought in tight formations, led by a heavily armoured warrior elite, that carried heavy battle-axes or two-handed broadswords known as claidheamh mor or "claymores" – meaning "great sword" in Scottish Gaelic. However, with the widespread use of muskets and cannon, such formations became vulnerable. As a result, in the 17th century, Highlanders developed a lighter, one-handed claymore with a basket hilt that protected the hand. This was generally used with a shield or "targe" strapped to the body and a "dirk" or biotag (long knife) held in the other hand. The use of the charge greatly mimicked the Celtic fighting styles of battle, where one side would rush at the other in an attempt to break the line of battle.(…)
