Alexander's Battle Plan
Perseus's proposed battle plan was accepted by all of his generals, who set about placing their troops like that.
Although in private, his son Philips had once come to raise the following worry with his father,
"Will our wings really be able to destroy the enemy's flanks in time? The way you father discussed it sounded like it might take too long. What if we can't? What if ..."
The man trailed off, his voice shaky and fearful.
Philips might not have shown it before others, but he was scared, very scared.
The thought of losing everything was of course enough to terrify anybody.
"Don't worry my son! That's why I will be there. To lead the men on! It will not take long at all!" But Perseus did not seem to share the same concern and easily brushed the concern off as such, pulling a very confident, reassuring face.
Whether or not he was feeling the same pressure, Lord Theony was not showing.
