Barasames goes again. I only got one response to my "keep Trump attempts hidden?" question, and it was "affirmative", so I'll not reveal (to either side) whether any Trump was attempted or not from here on out. Obviously activations later in the turn will fill in this information, but 'til then....
The routed Heruli under Pharas are eliminated by missile fire. Since there are no more units that Pharas can give orders to, he's out of the game. Sorry, Pharas! Let's say he's run back to the walls of Dara. I won't bother showing him on the map anymore, though he's not "eliminated" for Rout Point purposes.
Barasames' low charisma again proves no hindrance to rallying, as another LN regroups with a dr='1'.
Then, deciding that the cavalry battle is over, Barasames moves to muster the Persian light infantry.
Current Rout Point totals:
| Side | Current | Limit | Pct |
|---|---|---|---|
| Persians | 53 | 109 | 49% |
| Byzantines | 31 | 102 | 30% |
Barsames finally calls it a turn (whew!), so it's over to A.John.
