The orders of battles for Ava in this article are sourced from the main royal chronicles—the Maha Yazawin, the Yazawin Thit and the Hmannan Yazawin, which primarily narrate the war from the Ava side, and provide a specific order of battle for each of the Ava campaigns; the chronicles also typically (but not always) provide the opposing forces' strength as part of their narratives.
Therefore, this article uses the limited orders of battle information on the Hanthawaddy side reported in the main chronicles.
[note 2] The military strength figures in this article have been reduced by an order of magnitude from those reported in the chronicles, following G.E.
Harvey's and Victor Lieberman's analyses of Burmese chronicles' military strength figures in general.
[note 3] Specifically for this war, historians' estimates range from 12,000 to 30,000+ troops for Ava (as opposed to 130,000 to 290,000 infantry reported in the chronicles).
