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

Why did king Philip of Macedonia take an interest in conquering Greece?
His ambition was unlimited, and his strategic ability matched this vision. He absorbed northern Greece, subverted the smaller members of the Amphytionic Council as his placemen, and dominated the remainder, defeating Thebes and Athens when they resisted, and became Hegemon (leader) of the Greek world. He had also planned to take over the Persian Empire and the additional power from his Greek takeover gave him the military strength and a secure base.
He was about to depart for Asia when he was assassinated. This assassination has been put down to many reasons, but most people miss the obvious one - a set up by Persia who saw the attack on them being prepared. His 20 year old son Alexander took over his father's plan, and the rest is --- history.
