  • Following the failed Athenian offensive on the western coast, Helmetrus called upon a second flow of troops to be drawn into Macedonia. The call for reinforcements gave King Amyntas a great morale boost, one he used to initiate a counter offensive. Along with the arrival of the Macedonian Regular Army, composed of some of the greatest hoplite phalanx's in the world, Amyntas quickly shifted the balance in his favor. But before Amyntas could launch a response, Helmetrus stole the momentum with his reinforcements, divided his armies, and launched a second offensive. The second offensive cornered the Macedonian army into the North-Western section of the peninsula, limiting the Macedonian trade routes to a single system. Despite the beneficial movements to the Athenians, the division of the armies gave Amyntas a excellent opportunity to strike. The Macedonian army moved in the dead of night, leaving half of its mercenary force behind as merely a token army. Avoiding the open, but constrained shore pass, the Macedonians moved over the mountains, eventually making camp on Mount Indopolon. As a result, the Athenian armies pursued Amyntas, intent on total victory.
