New this week for Hail Caesar are two of history’s leviathans – Alexander the Great and his father, Philip II of Macedon.
Alexander the Great son of Philip II of Macedon, tutored by Aristotle and undefeated in battle. In doing so he created one of the largest empires of the ancient world and for this feat he is considered one of history’s most successful commanders.
While a captive in Greece, Philip received a military and diplomatic education and with these military skills and an expansionist vision he planned great things for Macedonian which brought him great success.
His most important innovation was doubtless the introduction of the phalanx infantry corps, armed with the famous sarissa, an exceedingly long spear, at the time the most important army corps in Macedonia.
Warlord’s Macedonian range now has the exceptional commanders it deserves to lead them to battle – there are has been no better time to start that Macedonian army you’ve been promising yourself!
