B now. I've been experimenting with collapsible frames for orders of battle so if anyone knows of any, which are cited to books and page numbers, for Desert War occasions, I'd be grateful for a link.

Struggled to find sources with some of the details but OK-ish I think

Been a bit quiet since I started a new job but I'll be back presently.

Someone has been editing history articles using multiple identities to big up Italian efforts and several of us have been copy editing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_ ... s_affected)

This is very sketchy but I've removed the interpoltions and added citations.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outpost_Snipe

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babini_Group

have been "B'd" but neither are finished. Finding the chronology of the Babini Group and its OOB has been a bit of an adventure with the sources I've gleaned and I'm still dubious about some of the details. I used Pitt for the narrative of Snipe and am amending it with Latimer where he has more detail and should finish that today, now that my Wikimojo is returning. I'll be able to incorporate some of the Babini into Beda Fomm too.

Used Macksey to expand Beda Fomm around the OH narrative.

Copy edited it yesterday too as the prose wasn't that good.
