Notes

The order of battle is taken from the Indian official history and the memoirs of Pakistani Brigadier Za Khan so is probably accurate. Designations are correct with the exception of the squadron designations which I guessed.

Strengths are broadly accurate

The TO&E is accurate for the Indian infantry and both sides tanks. The TO&E of the Pakistani mechanised infantry is educated guesswork. The Pakistani tank regiments should have a recce jeep attached, but as the Pakistanis didn't see fit to do any reconnaissance I've left them off.

The deployments of the map are as accurate as I can make them given the rather vague descriptions given in the various histories.
