Across The Danube - Turn IX: Attack Phase

I am starting to create a significant numbers advantage in the centre

My archers shoot at the Dacian warriors, needing 8+, but with a -1 modifier for being on higher ground. However, I roll 5.

The central Dacian archers shoot at my nearby cavalry, needing 9+, but there are two -1 modifiers for friends being already engaged with the horsemen. The dice match the 7 needed, forcing my men to retreat two hexes.

The forward Dacian swordsmen attack my spearmen, needing 7+ (if they attacked the legionaries, there would be a +1 modifier for the latter having support from another legion). The dice total 8, forcing the spearmen back two hexes.

My forward legion counterattacks the swordsmen, needing 7+. There are no modifiers, but I roll 2.

An ultimately disappointing turn for the Roman cause
