Sigma II-64 war game

 * ... that while a hypothetical coup in South Vietnam was being played in the Sigma II-64 war game, a real coup was staged against General Nguyễn Khánh?
 * ALT1:... that the Sigma II-64 war game concluded that bombing North Vietnam would stiffen the enemy's will to resist?
 * Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Flying river
 * Comment: The Sigma II-64 war game was staged 8 - 17 September 1964, just after the Tonkin Gulf incident marked America's official entry into the Vietnam War. Just as two other Sigma War games had previously predicted, Sigma II-64 concluded the North Vietnamese could not be beaten. (DISCLOSURE The lead to this article is being used in several allied articles. NONE of that lead should be counted for qualifying any article for DYK.)

 * Symbol question.svg I came in to clean up the inline cite and found the writing choppy and hard to read. Perhaps another editor could go over this to smooth out the writing. The page is also tagged for Categorization. Yoninah (talk) 21:54, 18 November 2014 (UTC)
