C3C PBEM: "Hermes" - Falklands War scenario (level : experienced)

[LouLong]

OK, game is lost. I lost a vet B Squadron against a 2 HP infantry and lost a Seaking to interceptor over radar two tiles NW of Port Stanley
Kill para in Port Stanley.
Did some air bombards but apparently enemy fighters only dare go out against our helicopters.

 

[Luthor_Saxburg]

Using the "new" Puma ability to detect under-water units, HMS Splendid and HMS Conqueror were detected and sunk. But due to the previous night party, it took 6 units of planes to do it.

The Army is getting ready for the upcoming land battle near Port Stanley.

 

[LouLong]

Advancing slowly... to my doom.

 

[Luthor_Saxburg]

Defensive manouvers while waiting for the final assault.

Why risk if I am ahead in VP's?

 

[LouLong]

Why indeed !

Lost a harrier but shoot an interceptor near Port Stanley. Otherwise I am basically stuck.

 

[Luthor_Saxburg]

Our medics have observed with great attention the Scimitar healing procedures.

On the political side the Argentinian government has strongly objected against having one more of it's civilians expelled from the England on the moment of his arrival. He wasn't in England not even for one hour, so the British accusations are tottally false!

 

[LouLong]

We tried a surprise Scimitar attack before your counter-attack. But not fully healed their attack on the radar area was not really a success. Lost a scimitar and killed one inf company.

 

[Luthor_Saxburg]

The game is halfway in terms of turns.

I expect to put the British out of their misery soon enough.

.

 

[LouLong]

Lost last Harier....

I officially surrender and give up on restauring British sovereinty over the Falklands.

But I will keep on playing for test purposes.

 

[Luthor_Saxburg]

The Argentinian plan was to attack as soon as the engineers finished the road on the hill. On week 40 of 1982 the task was accomplished and the major assault begun...

If you really don't have any more troops the game is over.

.

 

[LouLong]

No I just have 2 marines and 2 ships that's all. And no more transports so the game is over.

So now is feedback time.

 

[Luthor_Saxburg]

The army cleaned up all the visible British troops in the main islands.

There was a big big party in Buenos Aires to celebrate the military victories.

People in Argentina forgot the unemployment, the bribery scandals in the government and the poor economic conditions. At least for a few days...


There is now an internal discussion amongst the Argentinian Government - should Grytviken be taken by force or to gracefully allow the British to rule over it as a sign of good gesture, which could ease up the peace negotiations?
