<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 4639875, member: 26302&quot;]I wonder why you imagine the Seleucids could only muster 100,000 troops. It basically covers the old Persian empire. This empire, (empire of 10,000 valleys), could muster much more than that. Maybe the Seleucids only had 100,000 Greek troops, but a smarter play for them, (I agree stalemate is best they could hope for), would be to work on gathering indigenous troops. Imagine what the Seleucid army would have been like if they were able to convince the Parni to join, having tens of thousands of Central Asian cavalry available. The Parthians by themselves held off the Roman Empire, (even more forces available), for centuries.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
