Hatnotes

I may be pedantic, but I find the current hatnote ("See also Sigma war games") slightly jarring.

I'd suggest either:

Removing the hatnote, and linking the text "series of classified high level war games" to Sigma war games, or
Using one of the hatnote templates instead - {{Broader}} seems most appropriate.

Of course, this would apply to other articles in the series. GregorB (talk) 15:19, 7 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
