The Battle of Waterloo

Paraoh tries to imagine how alexander the great would have done at that battle if he were commanding napoleon's army instead of napoleon. This seems, on the surface, preposterous. You're going to replace early 18 hundred's era napoleonic french with macedonians from something like the three thirties b c e,. an army that was ancient by the standards of the roman empire. But then it gets kind of interesting, because pharaoh points out things that you might not consider. For example,how are alexander's men lined up shoulder to shoulder in these deep blocks like so many bowling pins?
