I thought these new rules for the Falklands and designed for 10mm figures looked interesting, so I have ordered the .pdf version for a closer look. It's a conflict that I remember well from my school days and which resonates even today, over forty years later, but one which I've shied away from in the past for just those reasons. However, the Pendraken 10mm range is excellent and I have some RM commandoes stashed away from an abandoned Cold War project that will more than fill out the ranks. If this is a decent set of rules then it may well be something to add to the list for 2024?
I'll be interested to see your thoughts on these, Jim. Like you, it was a major event in my teens and, having gone through basic infantry training just 5 years later, the fact that it was essentially an infantry war has always held a certain fascination.
ReplyDeleteI've also always thought it would make an excellent starting point for a solo game as the Argentinean defenders were extremely static.
It also reminds me that I must watch '1533 km to Home', which is a documentary film concentrating on the Argentinean experience.
