Discussion

 * Is there any more info from Cooper & Fontanellaz that can be added to the article? Particularly, can the information about the Libyan tanks and the Artillery & Signals Regiment's involvement be incorporated into the article body? -Indy beetle (talk) 01:35, 4 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Not much: They state that the Libyans used most of their recently arrived T-55s and BM-21s in this battle (page 32), and that the Ugandans deployed at least 3 Shermans (page 33). They also state that the Artillery & Signals Regiment was under Abdu Kisuule's command (page 33); most of what he narrates in Tanzanians found Amin men weak thus refers to the experience of the Artillery & Signals Regiment during the battle.

 * Do they specify that the Artillery & Signals Regiment participated in the Battle of Lukaya? I was under the impression that the unit was in Masindi, where it was based. -Indy beetle (talk) 17:13, 4 February 2019 (UTC)
 * Yes, they do clearly state that the unit was present at Lukaya. Whether that information is correct, I cannot say, though considering the fact that both its official commander and Ugandan-operated artillery were present (per Kisuule's account), I would suggest that the Artillery & Signals Regiment's presence makes sense as well.

Map

 * Shouldn't Masaka be included on the map, since it was the objective of the Libyans?--Le Petit Chat (talk) 06:56, 4 February 2019 (UTC)
 * In retrospect, that probably would be helpful. The map that Goran tek-en made was based off of one from Pollack's book, which did not include Masaka. -Indy beetle (talk) 17:02, 4 February 2019 (UTC)
 * I modified the map to add Masaka.--Le Petit Chat (talk) 22:24, 5 February 2019 (UTC)
