Groeninghumpe, the Second!

General Bulbous chooses to deploy his troops in a line; although it's not much of a choice, since the only other option for the Zentan army would be something called 'not a line'. (Below) On the Zentan left, Bulbous positions both of his regiments of janissaries. Here, they can continue their process of becoming elite through the expedient of never, ever moving in a battle; never fighting; and thus never taking the risk of being defeated.

(Above) The remainder of the infantry, all irregulars, are deployed in the centre of the Zentan position. Behind them are both batteries of Bulbous' artillery. That way they unable to see any targets at all, and so Bulbous will not be tempted into the foolish decision to try and fire them.

(Below) Cavalry constitutes the whole of the Zentan right wing, concentrating both the mobile elements of the army and also the most peculiar of the smells.

(Above, right) To the front are both regiments of palace sipahis. They are positioned directly opposite the Wurstburp cavalry. Behind them, Bulbous posts his irregular cavalry, consisting of five regiments. With all of his cavalry concentrated against the Wurstburp horse, it looks like the latter might be in for a tiring day.

(Above) Bulbous then sites his headquarters at the juncture between his irregular foot and irregular cavalry. From here, he is also in command distance of the sipahis. The general's plan is a simple one; and so probably dangerously complex for his troops to execute. By deploying his irregulars across the bulk of the battlefield, troops which collectively can be commanded as a single group, he hopes to pose multiple, simultaneous threats to the Wurstburp defenders.

(Below) Being skirmishers, the Zentan infantry outrange the Wurstburp troops, who in any case are mostly highlanders, fellows just as likely to try and drink their muskets as they are to fire them.

Bulbous completes the stationing of his troops, a process which has been mercifully free of Wurstburp-style 'tactics'. With a growl from the Zentans that could be aggression or which might just be flatulence, Bulbous issues his final orders and the battle commences!
