Turn 4: Philocles's 2nd Momentum

New activation, same strategy. Philocles still doesn't want to waste any orders moving, as the game is going to end before he gets a chance to activate again anyway, so:

Philocles's 2nd Momentum
Routing, not shown: AS/VII LG: c,h. AS/XIV RC: a
In Pursuit: AS/XV Ex RC (w/ 4 hits)

The LC with 5 hits recovers (to 3). Now Pyrrhus and/or Leonatus can get some use out of it.

The nearly-untouched LC slams into the flank of the exposed TQ 8 cohort.

There's not many other units around, so the nearby skirmisher moves to attack the exposed AS/XIV (yellow) cohort in the southeast, which attempts a reaction facing change but fails with a dr '7'.

In the subsequent Shock phase, the LC rolls the dreaded '9' and routs immediately -- a really bad break for Pyrrhus.

With the Roman 3's Finished due to failed trumps, it's now Socrates' turn.
