Having previously nominated two "battles" that hardly merit the epithet, I present another one. This article is about a set of military maneuvers that I found to be somewhat (sadly) comic when viewed from on high (although I had trouble justifying the inclusion of humor in anything beyond one of the place names, which went through some interesting linguistic changes over time). Lack of communication nets a bunch of prisoners for one side, that are soon after returned; the events are overblown in the press and public discussion, resulting in some diplomatic difficulties later on in the war.
Is it worthy of FA? You be the judge. (It has been through MILHIST ACR.) Magic ♪piano 20:33, 9 April 2010 (UTC) reply

Support once prose points and a few minor issues are resolved (above). I've made a couple of very minor tweaks as I read it, removing some extra spaces, etc. Please feel free to revert if I've messed up the meaning. My comments are addressed. I also added the See also (instead of monument), simply linking to the battle monument. I like this article. While the prose isn't brilliant, it also isn't confusing.I should learn something from this.I should learn something from this. The article is well assembled, covers a range of literature on the subject, from the early discussions to more or less present day.

Support I read this article when it first came to FAC and had a few concerns, but see they have been addressed. I find it well wrote, well references, well illustrated, and in compliance with the MOS. You may consider adding the American Revolutionary War Campaign template in the aftermath section, so a reader could easily connect with other theaters of the war. A portal link to Portal:American Revolutionary War would also be useful in the see also section. Great work! — Charles Edward ( Talk | Contribs) 15:03, 27 April 2010 (UTC) reply
