Neither general fights unless he knows he's going to win or unless he's backed into a corner (like Hannibal at Zama) so the comparison is a bit pointless.<br /><br />What this did make me do is think about the units in the two armies more closely and it only reinforced my view that Alexander wins every time.Trebianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02221916804339000102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7615782020735321095.post-76138987448060315362014-08-01T15:29:46.275+01:002014-08-01T15:29:46.275+01:00Applied forensic history and simulation at its fin...Applied forensic history and simulation at its finest.
