This week, in the reading room, open only that campaign or weapon page, and write on one side of the notebook only the name, the year, and the scale. Before you close the book, look once at the notebook to see you did not read the thickness of an arrow as a moral score. The order is Battle of Tsushima, 1905, 05, then “Night torpedoes”. When one entry is done, look again only at 1905 for Battle of Tsushima and leave 05 on the notebook.

Do not build a scoreboard of countries, and do not write which side was stronger as a rank. Check that the entry in the notebook is one campaign or one weapon, and do not attach a country’s total to that line. Write only the date, the place, the entry, and the scale, and leave the score of winning or losing blank. Match Night torpedoes with 05 at the reading room before you close 1905 for Battle of Tsushima. Battle of Tsushima is “Night torpedoes” in 1905, and the figure kept with that entry is 05.
