Alexander's Battle Plan

Alexander could not help but release a sigh of amazement as his eyes swept across the two opposing armies.

The fact that such huge numbers of people could be gathered and then made to move in concert with one another like a proper army and not just a mob of armed men showed the ingenuity of the ancients.

For this required great administrative skills to gather and command the people, and in addition, the ability to solve all the logistical implications regarding both transporting the army and during mid-battle was a challenge only a highly intelligent species could accomplish..

This went to show that these people might be technologically backward, but no less smart.

'They should not be underestimated,' Alexander ultimately reminded himself as he turned to face his commanders and decide the battle plans.
