Here the Romans have a strategic choice of circling the wagons in hopes that their existing RP lead will hold, or continuing the assault to cement a victory.
I agree with the slim majority with the attack strategy, if only because of the vulnerability of the phalanx. The PH are a lot of rout points, and killing them off before the Epirotes get a chance to rally them just digs Pyrrhus deeper into the hole.

The Roman attack works like a charm. Chalk up another routed PH and one more eliminated PH.
Current Rout Point totals:
| Side | Current | Limit | Pct | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Romans | 149 | 185 | 81% | |
| Epirotes | 143 | 120 | 119% |
Magnus tries for Momentum -- why not? -- and fails with a dr='5'.
So now it's the Epirotes turn to activate a '3' leader, either Socrates or Philocles. Who should activate and what should they do? Momentum? Surrender?
