10,000 Congregation troops assemble outside the walls of Red Throne. It is rumoured that they are under the personal command of the Red Messiah. The soldiers prepare for battle by drawing their own blood, and spilling upon their holy lands. The rest of their time is spent in military drills and in sermons.
The 10,000 Braddian forces have been sent just southeast to prepare, and are under Braddian command.

The Soviet force of 5,000 army troops and 13,000 militia is divided into 3 divisions, with most units in the central division. They prepare themselves with speeches, drills and music.
The Asagonese troops have not yet reported their positions.
