PAIRING
Both captain will select an army from his deck to play on table 1 and 2.
Once the two armies are revealed, both captain will select two counter armies and present the two cards face down next to the opponent army card.
Each captain select one army from the two opponent cards to play against his first selected army. The other army goes back in the captain deck.
