1 When will the book be published?
2 Will it be released in the United States?
3 Will there be deferent translations from Polish?
Note: This website has far too many simple problems and incapability's, not worth a donation.... As of yet, hope these issues can be resolved.

Interesting Maciek!The battle of Guagamela has always captivated me. The intricacies involved and the timing engaged in can be subtle, but always elegant. I liked your portrayal of the Greek mercenaries being kept isolated from the Persian-Greek mercenaries at Issus. Gook Luck Nick

1 When will the book be published?
The publishing time will be delayed from 2004 Febr to 2004 June. But the man responsible for this series promissed me that it will be no further delay.2 Will it be released in the United States?
Well I would be happy to do it everywhere but I don't know any publisher in US. Now I'm very happy that I have such occasion to publice it here but if there will be some ather occasion to translate it to other language I will do it with no doubt.3 Will there be deferent translations from Polish?
So I have answered You in previouse question to this also. I'll add that this book is unofficial first part of the millitary view of Alex life. Regards

Great thanks to Susan!

I'd like to say great thanks to Susan for correcting my translation. I wonder quite long if I should put those words in excerpt, but this would be not fair because I added quite more new things before sending it and I changed some other things so I didn't want that all eventual mistakes in that book (made after Susan's coorection) would "fall on her shoulders"... ;-)
Well thanx Susan for that help. I wonder Susan if You will help me with translation of whole book... it's just a joke I don't want to scare You Susan!! Regards

Well I see this and Hydaspes battles as most intricited and there are some points which are still unclear. Well I like Fullers explanation on some things in Gaugamela.
Well at Issus he could be a little scary about mercenaries because previously there was a conspiracy (Alexander Lynkestis) and this battle was the first against Great king himself, he could pay the mercenaries to change the side in crutial point of the battle.Regards

You are a charmer, Andrew. You never cease to amaze me. I think of this place as a community, rather than something which gives "service".
