does anyone know of some sites that have outlined information on the military tactics of the time of alexander the great, the romans or persians?

I have to find diagrams of the formations of the troops.

also tactics on how to breach a city wall and infiltrate a fortified citty.

does anyone of any sites that might deal with something like that ?

Google. A simple search of "Roman military tactics" "greek military tactics" or "Persian military tactics" should work, no?

i have tried searching for a long time but the problem is that the results that pop up all deal with age of empires and other videos games and have no bearing to reality. i need to find something which is historically correct so i was wondering if anyone knows of a site that deals with such subject matter

i did not understand that

EDIT> On second thought, after doing all that work, I think you should do it yourself.
I posted here everything you needed, but just erased it.
I kept a copy of everything I found. And I found alot. On simple google searches for those phrases. Do your own homework.

Perhaps he has spyware preventing him from seeing the right results?

I would not jump on someone's back without knowing the complete issue he's having googling;)

I have numerous history books that outline the tactics used throughout the years in military. Truthfully, it is a lot like society, 100 yuears from now certain tactics will resurfaces as successful, and then die away, and resurface again later.

Or..........Just watch some John Wayne movies! :D :D

Don't forget, by the way, the minus operator to exclude pages that contain a certain word from your results. If you try your search on the terms xshare mentioned and exclude some terms the stuff you're looking for is easy to find.

thanks,

there must be something wrong with my computer because I honestly searched for things just like that and I got nothing else but age of empires strategy pages and other unrelated stuff..

thanks again

I would recommend going to www.spybot.info if you went to www.google.com and did not find those results, you probably have some spyware changing your results. :D

As sailor said The Art of War by Sun Tzu is a classic military book. It was written before its time and many famous generals and commanders utilise its theries, many real world applications also.
