What were Alexander the Great's tactics to win wars?

Answer 1

Alexander the great built a huge empire, rather quickly by using the strategies and tactics that fit any war or battle situation. Based on the terrain and the army he faced, he had to be flexible with both of the two major components he found successful. Alexander's tactics most often involved the combination of Greek and Persian armies that came before him. With the term of flexibility in mind, Alexander's tactics consisted of the following:

1. The integration of four different weapon systems;

2. Essentially using a professional and well trained army;

3. Heavy cavalry;

4. Heavy infantry;

5. Use of the phalanx battle formation; and

6. The envelopment tactic.

Depending on the circumstances, Alexander sometimes used chariots and war elephants, but this was rare. Additionally, Alexander also personally led his cavalry into battle.

Clearly in his battles, various circumstances led him to improvise, however, the resources mentioned in this paragraph is an accurate summation of Alexander's winning tactics.
