Tags: 300 Alexander Companion Darius Gaugamela Greek Hetairoi Macedon Oliver Parmenion Persia Phalanx Stone
One of the most accurate depictions of Ancient Greek/Macedonian war in modern media. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Gaugamela The complete battle version from "Alexander Revisited - The Final Cut" With amazing speed, strength, and persistance, Alexander and his Macedonian army of Greeks and Macedonians took much of Asia Minor from the Persian Empire, in the process defeating one of their most celebrated generals, Memnon of Rhodes. After returning from Egypt, where Alexander was declared Pharaoh and son of Zeus-Ammon, Darius, King of Persia, cut Alexander's supply lines at Issus and forced Alexander to battle him there. Darius was defeated, and Alexander's supply lines were never cut by an enemy force again. Darius was not done. He rebuilt his army, swelling its size to between 100,000 to 250,000, and made up of a vast host of infantry, and some of the best and most celebrated cavalry in the world from Bactria, Hyrcania, India, and more. Included were hundreds of Scythed Chariots and a few war elephants from India. The estimates place Alexander's army at anywhere from 40,000 to 60,000 Greeks, Macedonians, and other mercenaries/auxiliaries, made up primarily of Phalangites with the 16-18 foot long sarissa, and heavy cavalry of the Thessalians, Greek allies, and the legendary Hetairoi ("Companion" Cavalry). Alexander let Darius choose the field of battle. Darius picked a field outside of the village of Gaugamela. He meticulously had the field brushed flat for maximum efficiency for his chariots. Every rock was upturned, brushes removed, the sand flattened. Alexander's plan was a madly audacious one, which very nearly failed in the heat of battle. Having massed his cavalry on his extreme right flank at the Battle of Issus, Darius was more cautious this time, and massed much of his cavalry opposite the Macedonian right to stop a major flanking maneuver, as had happened at Issus. As Darius expected, the Macedonian cavalry began to charge far off to the right, as if to flank the Persian army. Darius did not expect for Alexander's cavalry to be hiding light infantry and missile troops in the dust of the horses. While the Macedonian Phalanx held the lines (the left flank under Parmenion being particularly brutalized by the heavy Persian left, and very nearly dissolving under Persian pressure) against the Persian infantry, and the Persian cavalry mass was lured away from the King, Alexander sprung his trap. Darius had inadvertantly parted his lines and exposed himself at an angle which a cavalry charge, if done with enough force and daring, could reach the King himself. The Persian cavalry was ambushed by the light troops and missile troops, combined with the clash by the Macedonian cavalry, and were either defeated or kept in place while Alexander led his Companions straight into the crack of the Persian line. It is said Alexander got so close to Darius, that he hurled his spear at the King and missed by mere inches. The Scythed Chariots were a key element of Darius's army. In a brilliant tactic later used by Scipio Africanus against the elephants of Hannibal Barca at the Battle of Zama, Alexander's troops stepped aside, opening lanes into which the chariots could pass through, and be speared from the flanks. Portrayed in the movie, Darius panicked and fled, throwing his army into disarray. Some accounts have it that Darius attempted to regroup his army, but the army was already broken, and Darius was forced to flee. Before Alexander could pursue Darius, news came from the left flank that Parmenion's infantry were in danger of collapsing. The Persian assault had been heaviest on the left, and Persian cavalry were already trickling past Macedonian lines to loot the Macedonian camp and attempt to rescue Darius's family being kept hostage. Alexander wisely pulled back to assist Parmenion and save his army. Darius was killed some years later by his own generals. Alexander treated his body with great respect and gave him a great funeral.

For a second day, Israeli aircraft have pounded what they say are Hamas targets in Gaza. The death toll has risen to at least 280, among them women and children. Hamas has vowed not to cave in, but Israel's operation could soon escalate. Tanks have massed at the Gazan border, and Ehud Olmert's office says military reservists are being mobilised. The UN Security Council has demanded an immediate end to the violence, and Egypt is trying to broker a ceasefire. But the airs raids are continuing, as Clayton Swisher reports.

Israel vows war on Hamas in Gaza Images from a third day of Israeli attacks on targets in the Gaza Strip Top Israeli officials have vowed to continue attacks on militant group Hamas, as Israeli air strikes pounded the Gaza Strip for a third day. Israel was fighting a "war to the bitter end" against Hamas, its defence chief said. A top army official said no Hamas buildings would be left standing. About 320 Palestinians have died since Saturday, the UN says. Four Israelis have been killed by rockets from Gaza. There were more air strikes early on Tuesday morning, with 10 reported dead. Palestinian officials said that Hamas-run offices and security installations were targeted, with another 40 people said to be wounded. UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has called for an immediate ceasefire. Mr Ban said he was "deeply alarmed" by the escalation of violence in Gaza. While recognising Israel's right to defend itself from militant rocket attacks, he condemned its "excessive use of force". Israel has massed forces along the boundary with Gaza and has declared the area around it a "closed military zone". GAZA CAMPAIGN DEATHS 320 - Official Gaza toll (source: UN) 62 civilians in Gaza (source: UN) 4 civilians in Israel (source: Israel police) West Bank anger at Gaza strikes Israel looks for knockout blow In pictures: Third day of raids Correspondents say the move - in addition to the call-up of thousands of reservists - could be a prelude to ground operations, but could also be intended to build pressure on Hamas. In other developments: • The Red Cross described the situation in Gaza's hospitals as chaotic, with medical teams "stretched to the limit" • Gaza's Shifa hospital was evacuated following a rumour that it was about to be targeted - patients and staff later returned • A small number of wounded Palestinians have begun passing through the Rafah crossing into Egypt for treatment; trucks laden with medical aid have been permitted to cross into Gaza • European Union foreign ministers are to meet in Paris on Tuesday to discuss the escalating crisis 'Topple Hamas' Dozens of centres of Hamas strength, including security compounds, government offices and tunnels into Egypt, have been hit since Israel started its massive bombing campaign on Saturday morning. See detailed map of attacks Early on Monday, raids damaged both the interior ministry and a science building at the Islamic University in Gaza, from which many top Hamas officials graduated. Places hit by later strikes included the home of a senior Hamas commander and a car carrying gas cylinders, reports said. Five sisters were killed in one attack in the densely-populated Jabaliya area. Police help an Israeli woman in shock following a rocket attack from Gaza on south Israeli town of Sderot (29/12/2008) Israelis in nearby towns have faced an escalated militant rocket threat US tacitly backs Israeli offensive Aid worker diary: Gaza raids Rocket attacks plague Israeli towns UN humanitarian chief John Holmes said his latest information was that about 320 Palestinians had been killed and 1,400 injured. "Sixty-two of those killed, we believe... are civilian casualties," he told a news conference. "That simply encompasses those who are women and children. It does not include any civilian casualties who are men - even though we know that there have been some civilian men killed as well." Palestinian hospital sources put the death toll higher, with 345 people killed and 1,650 injured. Israel reported its second fatality, a labourer at a building site in the city of Ashkelon that was hit by a medium-range Grad missile. Three people were seriously wounded in the attack. Late on Monday, Israeli media reported two more deaths from rocket fire in the space of an hour, at Nahal Oz near the border with Gaza and in the southern city of Ashdod. Several people were injured in the attacks. Israel says its aim is to end the rocket attacks by Hamas-linked militants - of which there were more than 40 on Monday, the Associated Press news agency said. Defence Minister Ehud Barak said Israel was not fighting the residents of Gaza, but wanted to deal Hamas a "severe blow". The Israeli operation would be "widened and deepened as needed", he said. The army's deputy chief, meanwhile, said that there would "not be a single Hamas building left standing in Gaza" after the operation. Deputy Prime Minister Haim Ramon went further. "The goal of the operation is to topple Hamas," he said.
