By the way, you guys should really examine the layout before we start. Here is an easy way to view it:

(Or see smaller image embedded in first post on this thread.)
In that image you can see where the nations start, although the nations in that display are not the ones that we have picked and that we are actually going to play with.
The teams are the ones connected by blue lines and the enemies are the ones connected by red lines.
As soon as the war begins you will know which of these positions you and your team-mate occupy, and you will know exactly which four *locations* are occupied by your two enemy teams, but you will not know who lives there until your scouts get there. :-)
