Hill Of Watchfires - Turn V: Attack Phase

The archers in the middle of the hill are the only Dacians able to attack this half-turn, and the odds are against them 
There is nothing to separate their two possible targets, but a random die throw selects the unit on the north edge of the hill. Archers require 9+ against cavalry, but there is a +1 modifier for being bowmen attacking from an adjacent hex. The dice total 6.
I choose to counterattack with my rearward cavalry, needing 6+, but with a -1 modifier thanks to having friendly horsemen on hand, and I roll 8, which is enough to rout the archers. My cavalry occupy the archers' vacated hex.
Just three Dacian units remain on the hill, but many more are in the offing
