Modern history does not grant "Alexander the great" strategist exceptional qualities: he believes, rather, that he has unscrupulously abused of the powerful tool of war that was the Macedonian army of Philip II. That this is true or not, play DBMM with the list of "Alexander the Great" by adopting the option of Subgeneral brilliant, that the young Prince Alexander, has a charm all its own. Also in this case, meeting the criteria of historical composition of the army, the regulation gives great satisfaction. The mighty Macedonian infantry take the field beautifully and the cavalry of the "companions", led by Prince himself leaves no room for doubt: to launch attack in the weakness of the enemy and - thanks to the courage of his master - and slaughters breaks .
Technically, I put the 2nd command always at the center of the battlefield and use it offensively, to support the attack of Kn. The latter (the 3rd command) are deployed to the right or left of the phalanx, but I always try to leave all options open for maneuver, even if necessary using one of two brilliant stroke of the prince, though I prefer to spend them in combat, where, with a little' luck you may also benefit from the rule "generally lethal."
The 1st command, however, has mainly defensive duties, and I set it up the wing opposite to that where the Kn are. The Ax tend to occupy the ground broken or difficult while the cavalry is used as a reserve, ready engage the enemy or to exploit a breakthrough or to cover a hole.
In definitely, although it is rather "short", the army works well: in particular, the difference was Kn in the wedge, not undergoing overlap, they are really awkward to stop.
