"The Byzantine player may enter Pharas and his Cavalry units by the play of a Command card in the left section. Pharas and/or a unit, when ordered to enter, is placed on a hill hex or on an adjacent hex. The unit may not move but may battle."

A couple of doubts:
- Can the units only melee or also fire?
- If they can fire, do we consider they moved or held? (1d or 2d)
- Can you combine with ordering other units already present in the left section?

Vittoria Sassanide 7-5. Dopo uno scambio di frecce da entrambe le parti la cavalleria di Bouzes si fa avanti e carica il fianco sassanide. Riesce a sfondare ma avanza troppo in profondità e viene eliminata. L'azione si sposta nel centro dove la lotta si fa furiosa tra la fanteria pesante bizantina e qquella media sassanide. Belisario per coprire il fianco destro lasciato scoperto da Bouzes deve spostarsi lasciando il centro senza comando. Dopo alterne fortune il centro bizantino crolla. Faras purtroppo non riceve ordini e non può quindi intervenire per salvare la situazione.

7-3 Sassanids. Most of the action was on the flanks as the Sassinid cav advanced. Instead of bringing on the reinforcements, the Byzantine (me) choose to do a mounted charge to counter. Which would have worked great, if the Sassinid had not had two first strike cards, followed by a Rally in his own turn to bring his Superheavies and Heavies back to almost full strength. After that there was a lot of shooting and Darken the Skies, and the Byzantine reinforcements eventually came on but then had no cards to move. The Sassinid wisely stood off and just attrited the Byzantine by archery for the most part, including nailing one leader.

Further to the last, the gates seem immaterial - they are too far away for the Sassinid really, who can largely keep their distance and use ranged combat to win unless things go very poorly for them. Also, not sure it makes sense for the Byzantine to garrison them even if the Sassanid moves in - my reading of the rules is that killing or forcing a unit on the gate to retreat opens it, so from the Byzantine perspective may be better to die in place in front of the gates, and then have the Sassinids have to force the unoccupied gate by getting a Sword hit, requiring at least two turns of effort.
