Looks nice... just too big for this small of an article. You might be viewing this from a widescreen, but from 1024x800 it takes up half the screen. Do a find-and-replace to change all the "width"'s to 160 and it looks more compact. I also made the colors less contrasting and changed the header a bit.

Lasted 72 hours?

Someone must have misunderstood something. In the command briefing for the first training mission, Loukakis says that 72 before mission 1, the GTVA had lost the Andromeda, the Trafalgar, and 15 fighter wings. The part of the battle which Alpha 1 saw only began at that point. Unless there is canon info on the subsequent events unfolding in a blink of an eye, the "Battle lasted 72 hours" claim is factually inaccurate. I'm just now replaying the Main Campaign and taking notes of in-universe events. I'm rewriting the article to reflect that. - TopAce

The article read "at least 72 hours". Mustang19 13:52, 21 April 2008 (CDT)
