:36:04
Gaugamela, Persia
:36:05
It was mad, 40,000 of us against 250,000 barbarians.
:36:13
It was the day Alexander had waited for all his life.
:36:22
Alexander. Son of a god.
:36:27
It was a myth of course, at least it started as a myth,
:36:32
I know, I was there, I saw his eyes.
:36:38
There... in the crack of the Persian line, we'll go for the head.
:36:44
Kill their eyes?
:36:46
The gods have brought him to us at last!
:36:49
If I die, it's one Macedonian,
:36:52
..but the Persians they cannot move
with out Darius' command.
:36:56
Here, right here we cut the throat of the Persian army.
:37:00
This is madness, you will never get withing a hundred paces of him.
:37:03
Have you seen the sheer size of his force, Alexander?
:37:07
Not IF you hold him on the left, my brave Parmenion,
:37:10
with your son, Philotas, for just one, two hours tomorrow.
:37:15
And you, unbreakable Antigonus. The center phalanx.
:37:20
Perdiccas.
:37:22
Leonnatus.
:37:23
Nearchus.
:37:26
Polyperchon.
:37:28
If you pin them on the walls of Ursyrisus here in the center,
:37:32
their cavalry will follow me out to the right,
:37:35
..and when bold Cassander breaks,
:37:38
stretching their left, a hole will open,
:37:41
Then I and my cavalry, our revered Cleitus,
:37:45
Ptolemy and Hephaistion will strike through that gap,
:37:51
and deal the death blow to Darius' head.
:37:54
Alexander, even with luck, timing, the
gods, we must route them tomorrow,
:37:58
destroy their army completely!
:37:59
..Or we'll be picked apart by bandit tribes on a long journey home.
