  • theleekycauldron, Onegreatjoke, being interesting is subjective. That said, I do acknowledge that many people might not find the subject matter here (orders of battle) interesting. On top of that, we have to work with the available citable material -- it is what it is. Here's my another attempt; not sure if it's any more interesting. If you have any better suggestions, please let me know. Thanks.
ALT1: ... that the Ava high command sent in only their central and southern regiments in their 1390–1391 invasion of Hanthawaddy? Source: Chronicle sources: (Maha Yazawin Vol. 1 2006: 301), (Yazawin Thit Vol. 1 2012: 202), (Hmannan Vol. 1 2003: 429–430)

@Hybernator and Theleekycauldron:, how about something focused around discrepancies in army sizes. Something like: ALT2: ... that for their 1390–1391 invasion of Hanthawaddy, the Ava high command probably only mobilized a tenth of the 290,000 soldiers the royal chronicles report they commanded? ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 15:28, 31 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
