Marine strength
As a precursor to making the article clearer... Was the original 1200-strong marine garrison wiped out prior to 0520? --74.99.140.28 03:34, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
Marine casualties that high?
I know that only 14 Marines survived the combat at Alpha HQ and Firebase Bravo, but the numbers don't add up. Supposedly 1600 Marines were involved in the battle, but the book states that there were only 400 Marines at Alpha. 14 of that battalion survived (including Cpl. Harland's team, who were the only survivors of Firebase Bravo). Then add the company or battalion from Bravo Base that Lt. McCasky's and Cpl. Harland's platoon belonged to. At most, that's about 800 Marines accounted for. Now, how do we know there were 1600 Marines in the first place, and not just 800? If someone just didn't make a mathematical error, then the remaining 800 Marines should be somehow addressed, as either MIA or "situation unknown". Maybe they got wiped out, too, but I still think they should be adressed.
Discrepancy...
Hey,
About that discrepancies thing, when it says how did the Cradle cover all the ships? Well, wasn't there more than one refit station at Sigma Octanus?

No, there was just the Cradle. There were three at Reach, but that was later, and they faced much more ships. Specops306, Kora 'Morhek 03:46, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
