It is May 326 BC, and Alexander
the Great has just conquered the known world.
Now his attention is turned to the
previously unknown lands of India.
Having put
down a rebellion in Sogdiana and taking the beautiful Roxana in marriage,
Alexander is ready to undertake the invasion of north central India. The
King of Taxila has invited the young Macedonian to help against his rival,
the leading monarch of the Punjab, King Porus. With this Alexander is off!
The two armies
meet across a river swollen by torrential rains, and so the scene is set
for the Battle of the Hydaspes. Across the river awaits Porus, his 200
war elephants, and perhaps all of India.
Will this be the last
great battle of Alexander???
Phalanx vs Pachyderms
