Correct, as would be expected in infantry encounters.
And yes, reer Buuhoodle are on the move, albeit reer Widhwidh initiated the assault. It is now a game of who gets to where the quickest, and who take out which decorated General at first. I do not think Muuse anticipated any of it.
Postscript:
I remember Saeed Dheere, and the late Cadhays once saying, they can get to Burco quickly, if they so chose, but they did not want to temp it, unless SSC forces were on the same side (they did not want SSC sons shooting at each other). I did not quite get it then, and thought they were just bluffing, but now it is clearer.
