Ipsus marked the zenith of the titanic struggle between Alexander the Great’s successors, each vying to forge a vast Hellenistic empire that could unite the known world. At the center of this ambition stood Antigonus, whose towering dreams of empire crumbled in the dust of that battlefield, leaving him the last to fall short of creating the enduring, international dominion he so fiercely sought.

Antigonus' Forces: 70,000 Infantry, 10,000 Heavy Cavalry, 75 War Elephants.
