Hi . Im looking for a modern ruleset that will also work for the Falklands conflict . Would Force on Force be suitable ?Ive read good reviews but not sure if its the right one to get . Any help appreciated . Thanks all.Martin |

Force on Force works very well for the Falklands and the rule book has a Falklands scenario, Top Malo, which plays quite well. |

I would search for battle reports for Force on Force, preferable ones that detail the system. While the system works and would suit the Falklands war, I do not like the dice mechanic when you are using different skilled troops. I think the game falls apart at that point because the benefits of cover dramatically lesson for lower quality troops. Just my opinion Chris |

Chris, But doesn't the cover reduction model the poor use of cover by lower quality troops? I'm thinking of the videos of insurgents (probably D6 TQ) popping around a corner and emptying a mag, then jumping back. While a Marine (D8 TQ) would be more likely to peek around the corner and squeeze off a burst. |

I actually like disposable heroes better: link I like their morale rules better and particulary the concept of fire discipline or even better the detailed rules for fire drilled at the end of the books, plus you have all the lists you need for falklands/malvinas |

Combat Patrol would work as well. Joe |
