editI think that a 'battle' in which 12 people get killed sounds ridiculous. It's better to refer to this as a skirmish. I would define battles as short-term conflicts in which at least over 100 human lives are lost.
It's been referred to as the Battle of Stone Houses since the 1800s. It's not up to us to change the names of events to suit our personal definitions. To quote from the wikipedia entry Battle - "Battles may be small scale, only involving a handful of individuals, perhaps two squads, up to battles on army levels where hundreds of thousands may be engaged in a single battle at one time."Madness 10:40, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
At least make the first line match the title please, whichever one is chosen. Letstalk 16:59, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
I believe the writer used skirmish to avoid the redundancy of repeating the word battle in the first line.Madness 23:24, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

editThe Kichai were routed, their leader killed and almost half of the Rangers survived. Calling this a Kichai 'victory' sounds like CRT nonsense
