Turn 2: Leonatus's Activation

The voting:
 

Option

Votes
Pass 4
Move west to get in command range of Pyrrhus 2
Advance the phalanx to attack 1
Advance in support of Milon 2
Move up to the MI and get them out of the way 1
Move up to the MI and attack 2

I think keeping the PHs back is important, since if they advance at all then the Roman front line will be able to hit their flanks.

Moving the MI out of the way is interesting. I consider their status as speed bumps as ultimately helpful, since it will break up the Roman advance and likely allow the HI some flank possibilities. Much depends on whether the HI can move before the MI try to rout through them.

So, boring as it is, I think one of the first two options is best (and got the most votes anyway), so that's what I've implemented here:

Leonatus's Activation
Routing, not shown: Macedonian LC
In Pursuit: AS/XV Ex RC (w/ 4 hits)

All leaders except Laevinus are now finished. What should he do? Mail me.

We'll then wrap up turn 2 (several routed units need to flee) and begin turn 3.
