'''Tybaltcapulet's "No Gastraphetes?" Edges:'''

Pezhetairoi/Hypaspists vs Allied Infantry: The Allied Infantry will get utterly pummled by the combo that the Great has here. Their armor is utter garbage here, with all the different tribe and weapons, they seem to be less organized and unified, and are essentially useless against a phalanx and their weapons will be too against the Petzhetairoi and the Hypaspists.Edge: Alex the "Greek" Lion RAWRRRRRR

Agranian Peltasts and Cretan Archers vs. Alled Skirmishers and Archers: For the Agranians vs the Skirmishers, I have to give this to the Agranians, for as Pygmy has stated, there's just simply more of them, and in a mostly equal playing field, with both sides having their advantages, this will be the deciding factor.And you just simply can't even touch the quality and the skill of the Cretan archers, who were renowned for not only archery, but melee capabilites as well. They also have shield to assist them against melee threats even further.Edge: Alex the "Greek" Lion RAWRRRRRR

Hetairoi/Horse Archers vs Allied Heavy Cavalry/Hunnic Cavalry: Alexander unfortunately won't be having the best of luck here as the Huns will be pretty damn good in cavalry. Not only are there twice as many, but they are better suited for this battle. The Heavy Cavalry have the better armor, a shield and an equally as deadly spear. The Hunnic Archers like the Cretans are very skilled archers and even better so on horseback. They are a core part of Attila's army as well, while Alexander kind of just brought in some Horse Archers after he saw someone else do it. Not a bad idea, but when they're against people who've done this for their entire lives and have just as effective weaponry if not more so, it's kind of easy to see who wins here.Edge: Attila the Run Away

Tactics: Alexander is I think we all know nothing short of a tactical genius. He was able to defeat a nomadic-horse army, which by the way had never been done by armies like Alexander's. He was able to expose Darius's weak points in Guagamela, by pretending expose his, and obviously not ever losing a battle says something about the level of intelligence and skill Alexander had. Atilla on the other hand got whipped in the ass by a shield wall by the Goths who aren't insanely impressive compared to Alexander's Sarissa wielding Petzhetairoi. Attila is simply not on Alexander's level of expertise or skill in the slightest.Major Edge: Alex the "Greek: Lion RAWRRRRRR

X-factors/Overall: Before I get into X-factors, I want to set the precedent that Alexander the Great easily wins this. Deadliest Warrior dropped the ball so hard on this battle, it gets to Clean Wehrmacht or Lost Cause levels of bad. Now to get to the X-factors, Alexander takes everything he really needs to. His men are much more well trained than most of Attila's. He has much better experience, never losing a single battle and facing various opponents, especially the freaking Persian Empire, one of the most powerful and widespread empires in history. In Leadership, I think that the Tactics edge speaks for itself, where Alexander's men considered him above human and would follow him anywhere. Attila can't even begin to take on that level of prowess and respect from his soldiers. Attila can only really claim a metallurgy advantage with some nice Iron weaponry that won't really help him in the long run. For the men that they lead, Alexander carries an overwhelming advantage in infantry with the better quality, and in some cases more numerous soldiers. And in Cavalry, Atilla's only saving grace, he I admit will dominate pretty easily. But here's where this doesn't really matter. Alexander has faced horse archers before, and won (hell that's why he got his own in the first place) so he should be able to figure out pretty quickly how to adapt to them. Overall Alexander is a much better tactician, has better and more varied experience, and his are the better trained and experienced troops. Atilla will get absolutely murdered here.

Alexander the Great: 4000

Atilla the Hun: 1000
