Hoping to catch the seleucids between a hammer and anvil he advances the heavy infantry straight towards the enemy phalanx, whilst the elephants slowly plod into the centre. Seleucid Turn 1: Eager to get stuck in before they are flanked, the phalanx advances. The medium infantry claim the hill summit, whilst the cataphracts drift left positioned to act as a reserve.
