In spite of my commentary, it seems that the opposite units routed to what I said. It was all a bit of a mess at the end. Having got started on some other battles, suffice to say that the cavalry battles seem to go to the wire often. Close (and confusing) battles like this are to be expected!
Great video but I thought Thrace won and the Pontic cav routed (at around 9:19, it looked like their cappadocian cav was being cut down by the thracian ones in the way you see when an enemy unit routs and you are running them down, plus some Thracians were standing still at the end and not running off the map). Also, it seemed like Thracians got some recovery based on their men remaining number at the end vs the Pontics who did not- I know some would have already fled the battlefield but even so. Apologies if I'm wrong.
Yes, I was a bit unsure for a moment. I thought the Thracian cav routed as they charged in the rear but you're right the other unit stops. It is indeed Thrace's win. Chaos abounds!

Great to see these back!

No, I think you are correct. Thrace won that with multiple units still standing.
Seems this way to me, too, like they cease their attack and rout.
