Murray tackles this question from Juan; It seems that Phillip/Alexander\\u2019s army was almost invincible but afterwards \\u201cMacedonian\\u201d style armies seem to be a lot more hit and miss (vs. Romans, Indians, Parthians, Celts etc.). Was this because Philip/Alexander\\u2019s troops were uniquely competent/trained or were the commanders after Alexander just not as good? I\\u2019m mostly thinking about the pike phalanx but if there\\u2019s any information on the light infantry or cavalry troops I\\u2019d love to learn!
