It only looks that way. There are 10-20 men of saka infantry who have encircled the ptolies. THEY are charged... that way also arjos charged INTO his own men but not THROUGH them, he did not reach men BEHIND his unit.Originally Posted by vartan

In the above video, titled "Again", the following happens.
At 0:05, the Ptolemaioi charge at the Saka infantry. Unfortunately, the Saka infantry is already fighting Ptolemaioi infantry. The Ptolemaioi cavalry does not charge from the Saka side, but from his own side, thus going through his own infantry. This, my friends, is "charging through one's men".
