Turn 4: Leonatus's Activation

There were three votes for Leonatus, each detailing a radically different move: defensive (rally HI, LC, PH), offensive (attack with SK and LC) and a mixture.

I weigh in somewhere in between. If Leonatus doesn't rally the PH, it's dead during Laevinus's activation. I simply can't let 14 RPs go without fighting for them, and the two orders that doing this costs can't gain me 14 RPs elsewhere anywhere.

On the other hand, I don't see a lot of point to rallying the HI near the elephant. It's in no danger of being attacked. And though the routed LC will run offmap (5 RPs) at the end of the turn, there's only a 50% chance of rallying it. Isn't it better to use the order needed to have the SK attack a routed cohort? That's also 5 RPs but is a guaranteed success.

So I'm doing a little mixing and matching here to come up with this move:

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

Leonatus moves up, succeeds in rallying the PH (whew!) and kills off routed units with the SK and the LC.

Current Rout Point totals:

	Side	Current	Limit	Pct
	Romans	226	185	122%
	Epirotes	143	120	119%

Momentum fails (as usual for Leonatus) with a dr '7'.

So now Laevinus is up. What should he do?
