If Alexander would choose to "flip flop" like he did against persia, securing ports and other cities, Rome, like Persia, would rebuild in strength. Except the Roman army is in a whole other league than Persia's. And like any war for early Rome they would most likely learn from past mistakes and counter Alexander effectively.

    ah in my haste to type the post i forgot to never give 100% guarantees. like when i said no allies capitulated over to the other side against Rome. Then again i couldn't be any less accurate as you can only mention a few allies while could practically say most of Romes allies stuck with Rome anyway..this part of the discussion is moot.

    How can i even reply to this post that has no real detailed argumentative substance to it at all? nobody fought Alexanders empire, they fought Alexander and his army. noticeable difference.

    what? i didn't understand the last part I'm afraid, but please don't turn this into a one sentence reply debate...I'd like examples..some more detailed info..then i can learn and reply in detailed posts...

    hmm, yes that does play a significant role..one that Rome has showed to be master of in their wars while Alexander was more of a brilliant general. He'll have to send more messengers back to his homeland and maybe as far as Syria to ask for more reinforcements..which would be new if in hast or trained if given time for training..all depending how Alexanders campaign goes.

    hey it's just a tiny tribute to the greatest nation ever known. certainly lasted longer than macedonia's

    also..there's a whole post that you dissected and decided to attack with 1 sentence replies..that isn't a debate and a realdebate is what I'm looking for. one pro Alexander guy should be able to do this right?
    EDIT: afff please keep this into a paragraph debate, just quote and reply in whole. 1 sentence replies is the most awful form of debating IMO.
