Description

"War in the Falklands" This is really two wargames in one. The first covers the British Fleet hunting down the German cruisers commanded by Admiral Graf Spee in 1914. The German ships use hidden movement, attempting to sink merchant ships, before they escape off the map edge, while avoiding the superior number of British warships. The second covers the Falkland War fought between the British and the Argentinians in 1982. This one uses land, sea, and air units to recreate the entire war. The same map is used for both games: it covers the South Atlantic from Argentina to South Georgia and is divided into land and sea zones to regulate movement. 150 counters
