Alexander Campaign Resources

Here are some great places to find figures, terrain and books to help you fight your battles. Obviously this is not an exhaustive list but it is a good place to start.

Books

On Military Matters:  Dennis at OMM is a great resource for all things historical.  He has books covering all periods and even a bunch of books on war-gaming.  He carries a pretty complete line of Ospreys as well.  Just a few of the titles you might find interesting are:

Philip of Macedon by  Alfred S Bradford
The Art of War in Ancient India by  P.C.Chakravarti
Greece and Rome at War by Peter Connolly
War in Ancient India by Ramachandra V.R. Diskshitar
Alexander by Theodore Ayraul Dodge
Alexander the Great and the Logistics of the Macedon by Donal Engels
The Generalship of Alexander the Great by  Major-General J F C Fuller

Osprey:  Osprey books are a great starting source for the beginner in a certain period. They have useful plates for colour guides as well as details about the armies employed in the period and often something about the history of the period. Some of the books you may find interesting include

The Wars of Alexander the Great
Alexander 334-323 B.C.
The Army of Alexander the Great
The Persian Army 560-330 B.C.
