Arbela · Phase II

Battle of Arbela, 331 BC — Phase II1986 page 23: two upper Persian lines flee upward. Alexander's oblique advance turns toward Darius. Mazeus and Bessus movements pass around the flanks, while both reserve-line ends turn downward. Open, divided and solid formations are distinguished. Outlined flight, encircling and reserve movements remain distinct from fine retreat routes and solid thrusts. Color is editorial, not an allegiance key. Not a calibrated battlefield map.
