    It's the battle of Hydaspes. There aren't many known battles between Indians and Macedonians. The darkness of the night getting dissolved by the dawn is an interesting detail. Alexander had indeed manage to pass his troops to the other side of the river under the cover of the night, taking Porus by surprise.

    And of course correct, I tip my hat to you sir, I quite liked the depiction but hadn't even thought of that, it was probably one of his more astounding feats to be sure as I believe he tricked Porus by marching along the river back and forth, will have to go back and watch the episode ofThe Episode of Battles BC on his campaign https://youtu.be/sV_dHUJmOF8?t=3m10s

    Thanks Krieglord! Next one is a decisive victory in an indecisive war of the 17th century:

    Indeed, the battle of La Marsaille, general Catinat's greatest victory.

    Note worthy to add the duke of Savoy was not particularly smart with his decision to just have at it and see how it goes.

    Easy one now .
