The odds? Best modern estimates put them at something worse than 5-1 against Alexander. His 47,000 troops are fairly well documented. Darius commanded something over 250,000 (although some accounts place the figure much higher).

At times like these, the smaller force generally picks favorable ground for a defensive battle-- except Alexander always liked to attack and this was Darius' chosen battlefield, with room enough to deploy his masses, and ground carefully smoothed to improve the performance of his hundreds of chariots. Alexander's commanders SUGGESTED a night attack, but he refused... which didn't stop Darius from keeping his army in their battle lines all night, expecting the attack that never came.

When Alexander attacked, he personally led the force that broke the enemy line, coming close enough (it was said) to throw a spear at Darius and to challenge him to personal combat. Darius had none of it and fled. His army was doomed, and so was his reign. And the empire of Alexander was begun.

John Keegan tried to give us real perspective on Alexander's achieve- ments. He asks us to imagine Bonnie Prince Charlie not only suc- ceeded in taking back Scotland, but he then conquered the rest of Britain and Ireland, then France and Spain, on across Europe, knocking the Russians out of Poland and Ukraine, and was threatening the Otto- man Sultan when he died...just ten years after the campaign began.

And Arbela is his most important battle.

Ho ordinato un’espansione per un gioco di carte dall’Italia. Ho contattato più volte il servizio clienti in quanto avevo bisogno mi arrivasse entro una certa data. Sono stati molto disponibili e professionali, e la spedizione è arrivata quando avevano promesso, merci beaucoup!

J'ai commandé en ligne (pour un jeu qui n'était pas en stock ailleurs !), l'envoi a été hyper rapide, les étapes de prise en charge de la commande sont confirmées par mail, et le colis était très soigné. Allez-y les yeux fermés !

Une excellente découverte ! Le propriétaire est non seulement très sympathique, mais aussi passionné, disponible et de bon conseil. On sent qu’il aime ce qu’il fait, et ça se reflète dans l’ambiance chaleureuse de la boutique. Le choix est varié, les produits sont bien présentés, et on a tout de suite envie d’acheter… encore et encore ! Une boutique locale qui mérite d’être connue et soutenue. J’y reviendrai avec plaisir !
