As I mentioned in my last post, Chaeronea was the first battle of Alexander, his moment had arrived.
At 18 years the young Macedonian took command of 1800 Fellows (Heavy Cavalry). For this series of posts, I will use game technology to recreate the battles, the software is called Rome: Total War - Alexander. The original provision was:
not very well appreciated, perhaps, but basically the formation Macedonia was Alexander and his Companions on the left flank, the Falange in the center and right Philip with his cavalry. By the Greeks, the Greek phalanx was formed on the left flank and center, while the famous Theban Sacred Band, which lost 254 of its 300 men, was formed on the right to Alejandro address.
The development of the battle was as follows:
An error in the progress of the Greeks left a gaping hole through which Alexander came to surround the Theban phalanx. To illustrate this better, I took the time to recreate the battle in the simulator that I talked about, can see it here or follow the link to YouTube where you can see it in "High Quality", which I recommend because it is much better appreciated.
I appreciate your comments because I took enough to make this material. Greetings.
