Alexander’s men are supported by a coalition of Thracians, Cretans, Thessalians, and hoplites from the city-states of Greece. These troops can be Inspired to defeat more numerous enemies or they can be led directly by Alexander and his generals.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHowever, the Persian Empire is not as frail as history would have us believe. Its Persian Cavalry are the envy of the world and its deep coffers let it hire the very best Mercenary Hoplites to fight against the upstart princeling. Complementing the native Kardakes and Immortals are the Indian Elephants, the Saka Horse Archers, and Scythed Chariots. Raise armies from every corner of the empire with Satrapal Levies and truly bring a thousand nations down upon your enemy.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAlexander vs. Persia is fully compatible with Battleground products, both Fantasy and Historical.
