 * Symbol confirmed.svg Expansion more than 5-fold; hook is short enough and interesting; article is well-written, well-cited, and looks comprehensive. I couldn't find the hook fact in the first cited source (Connaughton 2001), so will have to AGF it's in the second (Fowler 2010). Sasata (talk) 08:42, 9 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Just for the record, Connaughton says "Precise details of the layout of the enemy camp [...] enabled models and a replica camp to be made up, which greatly assisted the briefing and training [...]". HJ Mitchell  &#124;  Penny for your thoughts?  16:20, 9 October 2012 (UTC)
