The Forest Road - Turn II: Attack Phase

Ready for action

My further-forward right-flank archers are within range of the leading Dacian horsemen, but line-of-sight is blocked by trees, so the attack phase starts on the Roman left, where my second unit of legionaries attacks the Dacian warriors, needing 6+. There is a -1 modifier for a friendly unit also being adjacent to the warriors, but a +1 for attacking into trees. I roll 7, forcing the warriors back two hexes.

My forward legionaries attack the falxmen, needing 7+, but I roll 3.

Now it is the falxmen's turn, and they need 6+, but there is a +1 modifier for the legionaries having support from another legion. The dice land exactly with the 7 required, forcing my unit back two hexes.

My main worry right now is that some of my units are perilously close to the edge of the battlefield
