Fights, conflicts (7)
I believe the answer is:
battles
This clue is a double definition.
'fights' is the first definition.
(I know this)
'conflicts' is the second definition.
('battle' can be a synonym of 'conflict')
(Other definitions for battles that I've seen before include "Campaigns" , "Lengthy conflicts" , "Military set pieces" , "Military engagements" , "Fights, conflicts" .)
