You don't just play history, you learn history.
Are you ready for the challenge?
Three hundred miles off the Argentina coast in the south Atlantic lay the Falkland Islands, consisting of two main isles (East and West Falkland) and about two hundred smaller islands. The only town is also the capital of the region, Port Stanley, and it is from there that the British territories of South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands are administered. With a total population of only a couple thousand stalwart individuals (and many more sheep and livestock) the Falklands seems an odd place to fight a war over, but that's exactly what happened in 1982.
Now ProSIM and Shrapnel Games gives you the chance to relive history. Using an enhanced version of the highly regarded ATF: Armored Task Force engine, The Falklands War: 1982 is the ultimate real-time simulation of the conflict. From playing on the actual topographical maps the British forces used of the island, to the intensely accurate statistics for weapon platforms, to informative scenarios that present the player with the same challenges faced by real-world commanders in 1982, The Falklands War: 1982 will have you smelling cordite and diesel. The human element has not been neglected either, with skill ratings for troops made up of ten different areas of expertise in military operations and a detailed light infantry combat resolution system down to bayonet attacks.
The Falklands War: 1982 is what true wargaming is all about.
