On reflection I think it better to go with the lower case 't' in
turn.

Noted.
(I don't know whether this figured strongly in your decision,
but when I wrote "hundreds of occurrences" I was slightly
exaggerating... ;) )

Lee,
Just saw your post in the WL CSW foldr about the Oxford comma...
this is the one you put before the final "and" or "or" in a
list, right?
Because, in fact, none of the ADCs actually use it, currently.
And I'm not sure this has been consistently used in the various
booklets (rulebook, scenario books, etc.).
Not a huge deal breaker, but I just wanted to mention it.
(And, no, I won't make another proofing pass at the whole ADC
collection to correct them. Besides, the Oxford comma
potentially lengthens the text, no? Wouldn't it be better to
decide to *NOT* go with it, since 'shorter is better' for layout
issues?)

Agreed.

That I should not make another proofing pass at the ADCs, or
that we should drop the Oxford comma from the House Style sheet?
Or both?

We adopt the Oxford comma for the rules and books.
However, if it's going to be painful to put on the ADCs, I have
no problem leaving it off those.

As an FYI, where we include the words 'wing leader' in the set
up text of a scenario (i.e. in the shaded wing box) we do not
capitalise. I've now fixed all instances in Eagles and
Victories.

Responding to Vincent's recent Origins proofing, there's no real
hard style about locations in the background section. We tend to
describe regions, but not always. I want the option to specify
places like Dunkirk, or Warsaw or Wuhan, rather than Northern
Prance, Poland or China.

Ok! It's just that so many Origins scenarios have a city name
for location, whereas only a couple (IIRC) of the rest of
already-published scenarios did this. My consistency OCD took
the better of me... :-[

Vincent, we seem to have removed the Oxford comma from the order
of battle headers. I can't recall when we agreed this, but we
are currently in a proofing ping-pong tussle between you and
Rick on this issue. What's our definitive call on this?
