With the cavalry rested, it's time to attack. Without further adieu:
As the cavalry closes in, the eligible stacked Roman cohorts use Manipular Line Extension to unstack, avoiding the +1 morale check DRM, and ensuring that only one cohort will rout as a result of the attack. Drusus also gets out of the way, using Orderly Withdrawal.
The cavalry unit in the river picks up two more TQ hits for two hexes of movement in the river.
The Guard cavalry unit can't get around the flanks, so it just recovers to full strength.
Defensive fire is better than average, as all but one of the javelins hit.
There are four shock combats: a single HC vs the cohort which MLE'ed (frontal), two HCs vs the remaining cohort with two hits (flank), one HC vs the cohort in 2nd line (flank), and two HCs vs the rearguard cohort (flank).
Preshock TQ checks inflict two more hits on the HC making the frontal attack, one hit on the flanked front-line cohort, and two hits on the cohort being frontally attacked.
The subsequent shock routs all four defenders, at the cost of two hits for the attacker. So, the single attackers absorb two hits, and the two-on-one attackers each take one hit.
Pursuit attempts give two break-offs and two pursuits. The pursuits result in so eliminations, because one unit entered enemy ZOC (Reaction Fire resulted in no hits) and the other because it's got more than one unit in its own ZOC. The two break-offs are even more painful, because those units cannot move until next turn and are blocking the path to the flanks of the next Roman column:
The Epirotes are in pretty good shape, except for the unit just in front of Pyrrhus with 5 TQ hits, and two of those came from an unlucky Pre-Shock check dieroll of '9'.
There's no reason for Pyrrhus not to try for another Momentum activation. However, the dieroll is '8' and Pyrrhus is Finished!
We're now back to normal sequence of activation, and since the last normal activation was a Roman '3', it's now time for an Epirote '3' to go. The choices are Socrates, Milon, or Philocles.
Who should go, and what should that leader do?
