Like Gabiene and many other battles from the Wars of the Diadochi, this battle saw two armies that were mostly identical in structure and tactics. And like many ancient battles, the death of a single man, the enemy commander (in this case Antigonus), was sufficient to secure victory.

If Antiochus Routs or Pursues, remove this Formation from play (this removal does not constitute a Rout).
Historically Antiochus was chased off the field by Demetrius. Seleucus then moved his elephant reserve to block Demetrius from returning.
