Simmias eliminates the routed HC to his front. Perozes narrowly escapes getting the shaft (dr '1').
Sunicas's Huns move (+1 hit for moving again) to attack the Saracens, who make themselves Missile Low (dr '9') during the approach. In the subsequent melee, the Huns take another two hits and have a close call as Sunicas himself rolls a '0' and then a '4' on his leader casualty checks. He's wounded, but not dead yet! His charisma modifiers to the dieroll help rout the low-TQ Saracens, so the Huns take yet another hit as they go uphill. Like their captain, the Huns came very close to having a Bad Thing happen.
Current Rout Point totals:
| Side | Current | Limit | Pct |
|---|---|---|---|
| Persians | 107 | 109 | 98% |
| Byzantines | 60 | 102 | 59% |
One more killed unit will now push the Persians over the edge.
There's a tie for initiative 4s (Bouzes and Pitames) which the Persians win. So, on to Pitames!
