(This is from me playing the First Strike 2, on a hotseat game with my friends, who insisted on letting people play pro-soviets and pro-westerners in addition to WARPAC, NATO, India, China, and Brazil)
The Falkland islands are a small group of islands in the Southern Hemisphere, a long ways off the coast of Argentina. Te Falklands islands are a British commenwealth (in a sense. I believe the british hold the Falklands for pure Strategic-Sheep-Shearing-Purposes) and the is a small NATO airbase on it in 1975 (in the scenario at least)
We also edited the scenario i teensie bit before hand, really all we did was add some spies
My friends and i also liek to roleplay a bit, e.g we'll have "Meetings" (which in the end helped me a ton!)
How the game went:
WARPAC's move, Jan 1975:
-The entire Soviet Pacific Fleet in Vladivostok leaves harbour, going east.
-Elements of the soviet Black-Sea Fleet leave Sevastopol heading for the straight of Gilbralter, so they can get into the Atlantic. (NATO monitered this from Istanbol)
-Baltic Fleet leaves
-NATO outraged by Soviet long-ranged bombers flying over Europe, and one landing in an unoccupied airfield in Sicily.
-Leningrad Begins production of a MRBM destined for a NP Submarine, coming by.
Cina's Turn
-Chinese Forces land near Manilla, headed for a neutral airfield
Pro-Soviets Turn
-Habana begins construction of a bulk Carrier
Pro-Westerners turn
-2 Garrisons of rouge troops move out of Manilla to secure the airfield Chinese forces are heading towards
NATO's Turn
-NATO, knowing Soviet ships are heading for the Atlantic, expects something big. As many NATO ships as possible in America leave for the Atlantic.
-British Marines board carrier ship for unknown destination.
-NATO Reconaisance plane spots Baltic Fleet sailing into the atlantic
-NATO Marines leave Newyork, destined for Paname, and then the Pacific. They are heading for Hong-Kong.

NATO

-2 Marines land near Middle East to intervene and help Pro-Soviets
-1 Paratrooper is also enroute to middle east
