Decisive Battles

I can't believe this show was gone so quickly. The computer animation was first and foremost much better than the usual blurred, corny re-enactments. You really had a sense of the scope of the battles, and what strategies worked best. I learned a great deal not only about the battles, but their effects on civilization, hence the title. From this show I know one of the things Oliver Stone got right in Alexander, as I said in another review, was the battle of Gaugamela. I was hoping as the show progressed it could go on from ancient warfare into medieval warfare, The Battle of Hastings in particular, and then maybe even modern warfare, such as The Battle of Normandy. But it was not to be. I still want the show on DVD.
