I decided to go with an Alexandrian versus Persian battle and Issos seemed a good starting point.
Initial setup. General scenario, Alexander and a few friends forcing a river crossing against a force of Persian cavalry and Greek mercenaries. |
Macedonian right flank - Companions, Hypaspists and start of the phalanx covered by a few light archers. |
The Macedonian centre. 3 48 strong phalanx units covered by some light javelins. |
Macedonian left - Greek cavalry covered by some slingers. |
First move, Macedonians start advancing to the river and expanding their frontage. Persians start moving to cover the river but making sure to hold back the cavalry behind the scythed chariots. |
View from behind the Macedonian army as the Companions reach the river. |
Great to see some of your armies in action!

DeleteA great set up Rob. Issus is a toughie for the Persians and really to win they need to utilise their phalanx troops. It looks great with Garrison figures.
