I remain utterly unconvinced on the Macedonian phalanx fighting in files of eight. Sorry, that should be half files of eight.
I believe also that I may finally have convinced the good Paullus that Eumenes did, in no way, outnumber Antigonus in phalanx "heavy" infantry at Gabiene. Demonstrably - as I have it rendered in the article - Eumenes is outnumbered some 22,000 to 17,000. That Eumenes' were the better is clearly demonstrated during the course of the battle (and a Paraetecene).
Pity about his camp "security".
