ALEXANDER recreates the baffle on the plain of Gaugamela between Alexander the Great's Macedonian army and King Darius' Persian Host. The baffle, once begun, will be fierce and over quickly. There can be no retreats or withdrawals. No reforming of the lines. Morale will be the key. If it plummets past a certain point, it will be hard to turn the tide and win. Setbacks bring more setbacks and the cycle is hard to break. Units are Macedonian, Persian and Greek, and represent infantry, cavalry, phalanx, mercenary, archers, horse archers, javeliners, chariots, elephants, and leaders. Three different sized counter types distinguish phalanx and leader counters from other units. Special rules cover charges, unit maneuver capabilities, leader bonuses,missile fire, overruns, stampeding elephants, and much more
