Synopsis

The Battle of the Hydaspes River was fought by Alexander, in 326 BC, against King Porus (Pururava in Sanskrit), on the banks of the river of the same name as the battle (present-day Jhelum River), in the Punjab region, near the current city of Bhera in Pakistan. Initially, Alexander's right wing, strong in cavalry, was prevailing over the enemy's left wing. On the other hand, the center of Porus, with the elephants, was also prevailing over the Macedonian infantry. But then the balance point was broken. In the simulation, the hypothesis will be considered as to what the result would have been if the Hindus had exploited the strong point of their organizational structure - balanced formations, counting on mutual support between their weapons systems, the elephants, the chariots, the cavalry, the archers and infantry, like pieces on a large chessboard - to defend themselves on the left, while attacking and winning in the center and right.
