#3 Scenario: Crossroads - Order of battle, deployment details

I imagined it to be an encounter sometime during the Justinian reconquest of Italy, so Early Byzantine list vs. Italian Ostrogothic list.

(Note: the numbering of the commands, and the order in which they are listed, was determined by the random dicing for their time of arrival)
