At 16.28 hours on the afternoon of Saturday, 1 May 1982, an AIM-9L Sidewinder
missile fired from the Sea Harrier of Royal Naval Air Squadron Flight Lieutenant
Paul Barton struck the Mirage III of Lieutenant Carlos Perona of Fuerza Aerea
Argentina, destroying it on impact. The Falkland/Malvinas War had begun in
earnest.
Over the next 45 days, the armed forces of the United Kingdom
and Argentina locked in a deadly struggle, as both attempted to assert their
right to govern a small, inhospitable South Atlantic island unknown to most of
the world and to many of those fighting over her.
In this
solitaire military simulation boardgame, you have the
opportunity to recreate those fateful summer days, commanding the British Task
Force as it attempts to defend itself from concerted attacks by Argentine air
and naval forces, and mount a successful amphibious landing on the disputed
islands. You will have to manage and deploy the Royal Navy's limited Sea Harrier
assets, coordinate the defence of the fleet with a wide range of vessels and
weapons systems, and plan a landing strategy that enables you to consolidate a
bridgehead before Argentine forces can respond. Modeled closely on historical
events, you will confront issues including variable rules of engagement,
surveillance and intelligence gathering, submarine warfare, Argentine carrier
and surface fleet operations, the Exocet missile threat, third-party operational
support and interference, fleet logistics, supply interdiction, and
uncooperative weather. At the same time you will have to walk the tightrope of
public opinion, deal with 'oversight' from the politicians back in London, and
overcome unforeseen events ranging from the sabotage of supply lines up to
orders to take the fight to the mainland.
Will the Falklands remain in
British hands, or will the Malvinas return to Argentina? Their fate is in your
hands...
