Re: Alexander's style

Absolutely true, Nick, absolutely true.However, what I was doing was seeing whether the program would let me win by playing Alexander's tactics... and it did, once, barely.Unfortunately, I then got much better things to do with my time, and as that battle, obviously, takes the longest to play, I never stuck at it. It was always much easier to trounce the Athenians and Thebans at Chaeronea, or annihilate the PErsians at Issus, which was much easier than Gaugamela.Oh, if only there were more hours in the day!Marcus
