I think I found out what you translated into the opening phase. It says "if both sides' setup is ready, the spearman goes out but does not fight." I think you interpreted setup as an opening phase, but it seems to mean the placement of the pieces and nothing else. And for the  "the soldiers lines meeting each other", it seems like a misinterpretation as well. The original says 前鋒出兵未交. Here, 出兵 means sending out a troop, but you translated it as two seperate words, "go out" and "soldier." Combined with the latter half, 未 meaning "until" or "not", 交 meaning "meet" and the next sentence which says spearmen do not kill each other, you translated it as "until the soldiers meet they do not fight", while the original intended meaning is "Spearmen go out once the armies are set up but do not fight. They do not kill each other."

Hope this clears everything up. I only had so much time to translate, so apologies for the long wait. Took me more time than I expected.
