Historical Background
The Battle of Panium  was fought in 200 BC near Paneas (Caesarea Philippi) between Seleucid and Ptolemaic forces as part of the Fifth Syrian War. The Seleucids were led by Antiochus III the Great, while the Ptolemaic army was led by Scopas of Aetolia. The Seleucids achieved a complete victory, annihilating the Ptolemaic army and conquering the province of Coele-Syria. The Ptolemaic Kingdom never recovered from its defeat at Panium and ceased to be an independent great power. Antiochus secured his southern flank and began to concentrate on the looming conflict with the Roman Republic.
The stage is set. The battle lines are drawn and you are in command. The rest is history.

Great pair of Seleucid scenarios, particularly this one on Antiochus III's under-studied victory at Panium! I appreciate that you used the Hellenistic units for the Seleucids and the Eastern units for the Ptolemies. :)

Since we seem to share some common interests, I wrote a scenario on Magnesia last year, please take a look if you have a second: www.commandsandcolors.net/ancients/scena...magnesia-190-bc.html

Nice work!
