Kate, thanks for clearing that up. I kept wondering why everything I read mentioned the formation, but no battle! That makes sense now that I think about everything I have read. I'll definitely check out Bachrach's book and look at the way his forces were deployed in combination with the terrain of the area. I just found his entire formation to be absolutely amazing when considering the heavy cavalry he was facing; I can definitely see why the Alans tucked tail and ran.
