Alexander Against Persia puts the players either at the head of the Macedonian army, at whose core the cavalry and the phalangites played complementary roles, or in command of the Persian army, consisting of highly varied troops collected from all over the empire. The three battles were increasingly important chronologically, in terms of the numbers involved and their complexity. Will you, as Alexander, be able to bring down a multinational army by means of only three battles? Will you, in the role of the King of Kings, succeed in foiling Alexander's maneuvers and vanquishing the Macedonians?
