Set up terrain as described on page 143. It's worth keeping in mind when setting up the terrain that the battle will be fought down the length of the table in a narrow pass with impassable mountains just off of the long table edged.
Roll off to see which player picks the half of the table they want to deploy in. The opponent deploys in the other half. Note that in this pitched battle the game is fought down the lengths of the table rather than down the width, as shown on the deployment map below.
Units may be placed anywhere in their half that is more than 12" from the center line.
Players take it in turns to place units on the table using the alternating unit method of deployment described on page 143.
Roll off after deployment to see which player receives the first turn. The player that finished deploying his army first adds +1 to his roll
Use victory points to determine the winner of the battle as described on page 143
The battle is being fought in a narrow pass enclosed by high cliffs. Because of this, the long table edges count as impassable terrain. Following the normal rules, fleeing units can force a way through the impassable terrain and disappear from the table (or die trying!) Other units (including reinforcements) may not enter or leave via a long table edge unless they are ethereal or a fleyer. This means that persuing or overruning units, other than ethereals and flyers must stop 1" away from the long table edges.

Nontheless they are gifted tacticians on the field of battle.
well nothing all that great...
