The authors propose an extension of the classical modeling of combat via Lanchester equations to include one-dimensional spatial effects. The usual coupled set of ordinary differential (Lanchester) equations is replaced by a system of partial differential equations. The authors discuss the proposed model, report preliminary numerical results, and consider possible applications and extensions.
