    Yup.

    People took that to be a continuity gaff, but it's really a cleverly worded bit of story telling.

    I'm wondering if it's somewhat inspired by Patton's "ghost army" and other such strategies.

    I've seen a lot of references to the "ghost army."

    That would certainly be a good way to get all the Klingon big guns in one place, and Khan hasn't likely read about the Battle of Midway.

    They've dropped a bigger spoiler in my view but I'm not gonna repeat it here since I wish I didn't know it. It's an awesome idea, though. Very clever.

    ^You could spoiler tag it and let people read it if they wanted to...

    Spoilers never bother me- I know the Titanic sank but still enjoyed the movie.

    As for the initial spoiler, yeah that's what I was thinking when Prelude came out. The wording choice and the general knowledge of events makes it seem obvious.

    Is the spoiler their financial accounts?

    I can't spill it but I just saw that it is still online at Star Trek Axanar.com. What I can do is PM Tobias with full details and he can post whatever he wants here. He is part of the production and I am not. Maybe I am the only one that will find it spoilerish.

    These aren't military secrets. It's a fan film.

    Dude, just spoilertag it. People can then choose to be spoiled or not. If it was on the Axanar page, it's ok for you to mention it here.

    If this winds up being one of those "only by PM" things, would someone make sure I get the link? ")

    Hey Ronald and Phantom,
    Go to: startrekaxanardot com
    Click the tab: AboutAxanar
    Read about the characters

    Of course I haven't read the script but something I read on that page convinces me that this story/script is going to be special/clever.

    Hmmmmmm...

    The only thing I noted was:

    That the entry for April indicated that he commanded (past tense) the Enterprise on her shakedown, indicating that she's already operational.
