The HC moved last turn that didn't make contact rush the Byzantine line. Losses to missile fire are (as usual, and unluckily for New Rome) low and all the HI are now Missile No!
Pre-Shock TQ Check honors are even, as everyone passes easily.
Shock is ugly, as HI attacked by uncataphracted HC is Defense Superior, guaranteeing that the attackers will be routed. But worse for the Persians is that only the attack on the northernmost LI succeeds in inflicting more than the "base" 2 TQ hits.
Now the initiative 3s are up.
Current Rout Point totals:
| Side | Current | Limit | Pct |
|---|---|---|---|
| Persians | 24 | 109 | 22% |
| Byzantines | 10 | 102 | 10% |
