The Force on Force rulebook (Osprey/Ambush Alley Games) includes a scenario set during the Falklands War. How likely are you to play a Falklands scenario using Force on Force? |

Using Force on Force – 3
Using modified IABSM – 8 |

If I get around to it as a project – 10. But it is in the queue. |

I imagine interest will increase when Argentina trys it on again. |

8+ – I have already discussed it and looked at figures. |

I've got figures for it from Gripping Beast (MoFo) but was planning to use them for a different project. Still, it's a possibility, but not likely. |

Hi,
It's a 7 from me as I've already played the top Malo scenario last year and I'd probably do it again. It gave a satisfying game with the right outcome (the Argentinians got driven out of the house and surrendered).
While the scenario in the Force on Force rulebook is good, I think the one in this month's Miniature Wargames is better as it has more detail on the terrian and more cover around the house. You need this because the house is so flimsy the Argentians will always be forced to vacate it.
I might do more Falklands games but I do think there is a problem both with disparity of quality of the two sides and with the lack of appreciable cover/terrain features.
I like Force on Force but I think it really shines best in it's original area of application – regulars vs irregulars in a built-up area. Other rules can easily duplicate what it does for conventional actions but these urban games have a unique feel nothing else can match.
All the best,
George. |

A 10 for me. Gathering more of the MJ Figures 15mm castings, planning on buying the Top Malo House from TimeCast, and should have enough other terrain to cover the scenario in Force on Force. Small enough scenario that I should be able to run it at local cons for several years. The MJ line, while maybe not the best sculpts in the world, cover the Falklands fairly well in 15mm, and they are slowly adding 20mm Falklands figures as well. 15mm:

Falklands is a definite. Force on Force, possibly. As mentioned, another recommendation for the MJ Figures, and QRF will be releasing 15mm British for the Falklands pretty much any day now. Presumably, Argentines to follow, sometime afterwards. |

Also, I recommend contacting Geoff straight away, if you are interested in providing input on the types of penguins to be produced, and to prod him/QRF to finish the 1/100th scale Pucara, so the Argentines have at least some chance at defending the islands. |

Falklands very likely, just not with force on force. Owen |

3 to 5. Depends if the Force on Force guys at FLGS do it. |
| Chuckaroobob | 02 Jun 2012 8:25 p.m. PST |
Falklands definitely, Force on Force not a chance. Much prefer Disposable Heroes or I Ain't Been Shot Mum. |

A 7 here. I have even a few items that I would be willing to set out on the table. |
