Are you sure Alexanders battlecruisers had a screen (escort)?
In fact in battle took part 4 battlecruisers only (suprisingly commanded by Alexander), the rest was just in another quadrants of ecliptic (of course 4 or 16 in the battle template is just question of convention how wide we understand battle participants - extreme way is all certain party warships in a star system, but not good solution for local battles like battle of Blackbird).--dotz 20:38, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
Escort, yes. "neither of them noted the wide-spaced hyper footprints as sixteen battlecruisers and their escorts suddenly emerged from hyper"
Participation. Um, good point. The 12 BCs were split off to guard the planet against potential hidden forces during the battle though, so I would consider them as "participating", even if they didn't really end up doing anything. Jabrwock 20:50, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
