BOTH players will now draw a quick sketch-map of their initial dispositions on the battlefield, it being assumed that, although the Elamites have been outflanked, they had time to turn and face the Assyrians, who will enter the battlefield either side of East Wood (not an original name, but it avoids confusion).
I will have to split my Assyrian army 50:50, but it will be my choice which units start on which side of the wood.

| Close-up of the Assyrian right-flank - all mounted troops, including cavalry with archery capability (unit furthest from the wood), ie half of the unit's bases can shoot each turn, even if moving |

| The battlefield at dawn (actually, the difference between this and other images in this series is that this photo was taken in natural light, rather than with blinds closed and the electric light on) |
