Persians take on a Near Eastern alliance

In my latest 6mm solo battle Xerxes, my Persian king of kings, faced an alliance of four of my Near Eastern armies.
In the photograph, the Persians have formed their sparabara shieldwall on the right and have cavalry coming over the hill (in true TV western style) to attack the enemy flank. Meanwhile, some of the Near Eastern infantry have started to melee with the Persians whilst further along their horse archers shoot and the distance more alliance troops rush to deal with the outflanking Persian cavalry.
More detailed reports available for those who want to find out what happened or need an excuse to doze off.
