"Falklands Chain of Command?" Topic

I just wondered if anyone had ever considered wargmaing the Falklands using Too Fat Lardies' Chain of Command rules?

As the land battles were primarily infantry affairs it would seem to fit rather well, with support from artillery, sustained fire MGs, mortars, etc. The platoon tactics in use (for the British at least) were almost identical to WW2; when I went through basic infantry training in 1986 we still had an MG group and a rifle group per section.

From what I understand the Argentinians were very tenacious in defence and the battles were hard fought, so it might not be as one-sided as it first seems.

The main difference seems to be that the British always attacked at night, something not covered in CoC.

There is at least one person working on a variant. There was a discussion of available figures recently. I think he said he was working towards the upcoming Special in December.

Tenacious… it's a way of describing it… (smile)

Not all the combat were at night… darkness was the common battle way… but there were daylight combat too… for example in Goose Green and San Carlos…
