Paraitacene with Lost Battles (Part 1)
Paraitacene set up tonight on my little table in the hobby room. I'm off to read Diodorus' account before bed, and then into the battle itself tomorrow night. Pictures are clickable, I hope...

The Argyraspides are, indeed, a terrifying force. Perhaps the greatest battle "lost" was Gabiene. How a baggage train and family altered the path of history...
