Date of battle
Note to whoever: According to the diagram of the Iserlohn Corridor shown in 'The Battle of Astarte', this battle took place during September 795 UC (486 IC / 3595 CE). (The Battle of Legnica, which preceded it, occurred on 22 August.) ♥ kine @ 19:27, 30 April 2011 (UTC)
Exposed Fleet
Pretty big suspension of disbelief needed here. Any fleet commander today would simply have shot down Reinhard's ships.
- I would say this is debatable, since while Reinhard himself is in favour of sacrificing himself, his subordinates refused to do so simply because they believed he was worth more than just a complete victory in a frontier battle. In addition, the other Imperial fleets appeared to be too far away or disorganised to inflict the killing blow as well. Glacierfairy 06:49, 27 December 2011 (UTC)
