Across The Danube - Turn III: Attack Phase

I am hoping for great things from my anti-horse spearmen

My archers again shoot at the left-flank Dacian cavalry. The 9+ required with two dice is reduced for my men being on higher ground, and twice for the target being adjacent to two other Roman units. I therefore need 6+ for a hit, but roll 5.

The extreme right-flank Dacian cavalry attack my spearmen, requiring 9+, but there is a +1 modifier for being on lower ground, and anyway only 3 is rolled.

The left-flank Dacian cavalry can attack either of my legionary units in the trees, and no tiebreaker separates them, so a die is rolled, and it decides the attack should be against the legionaries directly in front of the horsemen.

Cavalry versus legionaries usually need 7+, but there is a +1 modifier for attacking into trees, and another for the legionaries being supported by another legion, and only 7 is rolled.

I get the same legionaries to attack the cavalry. They need 9+, but there is a -1 modifier for a friendly unit also being adjacent to the enemy. However, I roll 6.

The second legionary unit attacks in the same circumstances, and this time I roll a magnificent 11. Since this exceeds the required score by three, the cavalry rout, and so are removed from the battlefield.

My legionaries are within command range, so I am able to order them not to follow-up their triumph by advancing from the trees.

Finally, my spearmen attack the right-flank Dacian cavalry on lower ground. Spearmen need 6+, reduced here for being on higher ground, but I roll 4.

The first significant combat victory has gone to my Romans
