I was initiating a battle in Owari (the province with 2 bridges) when I recieved help from some allies. When I played the battle, my allies started on the wrong side of the river but next to the river which meant the defenders imediately whent to stop them and I had a clear run over the bridges. neadless to say I won easily.

Today the same happened but I was doing the supporting. The area staked out for me did indeed overlap the river but I thought the attackers couldn't choose the position of their troops? Can they? If so how? I've tried doing what I do to position defenders before the start but nothing happens. WHY????
