"Alexander made a reconnaissance in person of the enemy's strength and dispositions and, despite the eagerness of most of his generals, he decided against a night attack. Instead, he retired to his
tent to devise his strategy. He ordered his troops to be well fed and then to rest. Darius, on the
other hand, mindful of Alexander's unpredictable manoeuvres, ordered his army to stand to
throughout the night in readiness for a surprise attack. It is certain that the alertness of one side and
the fatigue of the other played at least some part in the outcome of the battle next day."
