Off the top of my head only fractions survive.
For Baktrians/Indogreeks the account of the battle where Demetrios 2 of India tried to oust the usurper Eukratides but died, and the other one an Indian text cursing the destruction of Pataliputra by the IndoSaka, and mentioning that 1 in 4 Indians living there was put to the sword.

Please scroll down and check the sources. It is all there. All we know.
Until such time as the Indians or whoever is able can find the will and the way to excavate the historical cities of the Indogreeks and focus on the IG layer, this is all we will know. I don't really like to think of the destruction wrought in Baktria, aka Present day Northern Afghanistan, but it would be safe to assume that all is lost over there.
Same for the Indo Saka,

I was hoping to find info for some historical battles I would like to add to the mod...
BTW.. did saka and the indo-greeks fight each other?
The Saka ousted the Greeks out of Baktria first who then went on to strengthen and establish other Indo-Greek kingdoms. Later on the Saka were ousted from Baktria and adjacent regions by the Yuezhi/Kushans and subsequently invaded India and toppled the Indo-Greek kingdoms.Quote:
