  • The Battle of Pente Pigadia was fought during the First Balkan War between the Ottomans and the Kingdom of Greece. The Epirus sector was of a secondary nature to the Greek High Command, which was focused on the operations of the "Army of Thessaly" under Crown prince Constantine towards Macedonia and Thessaloniki. The initial Greek forces in the area consisted of barely 8,000 men of the 15th Infantry Regiment and five independent battalions, supported by 24 field guns, under Lieutenant General Konstantinos Sapountzakis. The Ottomans had at their disposal the under-strength 23rd Regular Division, and upon mobilization, formed the 23rd Reserve Division. Both had around 7,000 men each, supported by 32 guns, under Esat Pasha. The small strength of the Greek forces forbade a direct effort against the city of Ioannina, which was defended by the strong Turkish fortified positions at Mt. Bizani, equipped with 112 guns. Therefore, the Greek Army had to limit itself to the liberation of Preveza on 2 November 1912 after a victory at Nicopolis the previous day. Esat Pasha, having set up his headquarters at Pente Pigadia, began an attack against the Greek positions on 5 November 1912 with 5 battalions. Due to bad weather and the early onset of snow, the attack petered out to local actions, which ended with the Ottoman withdrawal seven days later. The Greeks suffered 26 dead and 222 wounded.
