Well Napoleon was a Lieutenant at 16 and After 2-3 years of Active Duty became a General at 24. (He often Takes Medical/Sick Leave or Perhaps pursuing Family Matters over Military duty, Involving his Native Corsican Establishment, Along with his Brother Joseph at the time. Those were Surreptitious Activity, A an Initial Course to Politics of the Future Emperor)

Alexander was indeed the greatest off all antiquity. His life devoted to fulfill his father objectives is more than remarkable.

Alexander knew that his army was elite bc of the Macedonian leadership and thier well disciplined and expirenced Macedonian troops. Parmenion held the allegionce of the expirenced Macedonian veterans and the core of Alexander's army. Alexander cud have lost the allegiance of the entire Macedonian force if he simply abandoned Parmenion's wing in order to pursue and slay Darius.

Hello. My name is John, and I am addicted to Epic History TV.

"Alexander son of Philip and the Greeks except the Spartans." Was the inscription on the 300 Persian shields he sent to Athens to honor their contribution. A poem by C. Cavafy: We can very well imagine that they were utterly indifferent in Sparta to this inscription. "Except the Lacedaemonians", but naturally. The Spartans were not to be led and ordered about as precious servants. Besides a panhellenic campaign without a Spartan king as a leader would not have appeared very important. O, of course "except the Lacedaemonians." This too is a stand. Understandable. Thus, except the Lacedaemonians at Granicus; and then at Issus; and in the final battle, where the formidable army was swept away that the Persians had massed at Arbela: which had set out from Arbela for victory, and was swept away. And out of the remarkable panhellenic campaign, victorious, brilliant, celebrated, glorious as no other had ever been glorified, the incomparable : we emerged; a great new Greek world. We; the Alexandrians , the Antiocheans, the Seleucians, and the numerous rest of the Greeks of Egypt and Syria, and of Media, and Persia, and the many others. With our extensive territories, with the varied action of thoughtful adaptations. And the Common Greek Language we carried to the heart of Bactria, to the Indians. As if we were to talk of Lacedaemonians now!

"maybe if you would drop your Turkish Bias you could see it." Oh great. I am not allowed to make jokes? Because I am turkish? So I have to be biased automatically? Oh boy. " I'm sorry you can't see reality or realize that the Turks are but a hair on alexanders ass in comparison." But clearly I am the biased one! :D Jokes aside: Expect for logistics I can´t see much strategy concerning the battlefield. We were shown 2 major battles and in both it was just a simple tactic, every total war fan could come up with. Maybe his siege abilities were OP, but we never saw any details regarding this. I have to say that he has gigantic balls for organizing an army and marching against Persia thou.

IgluTV Did you watch this videos analysis? Your insane,oversimplified, elementary idea that all he did was charge in order to win battles is absurd. Envelopment tactics, utilizing geography, and revolutionary siege tactics cannot be boiled down to "just charging". If you have a dissenting opinion of Alexander in the future at least present on argument based on rational thinking.

This video is so epic I’ve watched it several times and I’m still in awe. Both with the quality of the video and with Alexander’s life.

Good grief! I am blown away.I love how KZread allows great content like this to occur. Thank you for doing the work, and providing such captivating subject matter & presentation! Please continue on. Your sense of story and details draws me in and I want more!

Alexander was a master of combined-arms tactics and maneuver warfare. He would always attack the enemies center of gravity, Darius, with an elite brigade called the hypaspists and a battalion of elite peltasts, and this is known to modern military theorists as a recon pull or schwerpunkt. This combined with a combined arms approach gave him the victory at Gaugamela. He also combined all the different classes of soldiers into an unbeatable formation so that he could detach them if need be. He would combine phalangites, peltasts/slingers, archers and heavy spearmen with shields, as one battalion to protect each other. Archers against cavalry and lightly armoured infantry. Peltasts/slingers to move around freely to keep skirmishers away and flank enemies on a small scale if they attacked the phalanx. Spearmen to form a shield wall against archers at the front and protect the flanks of the phalangites. Phalangites to form a battle line and protect the rest against cavalry and steamroll heavy infantry with their long sarissa. When he planed for his invasion for Arabia he would field: 256 phalangites, 96 peltasts/slingers, 96 archers and 48 heavy spearmen + officers in each battalion.
