Why the Hell is someone making a game about the Falkland Islands War?

[Bush loves Jiang]

Christ, Thatcher could have gone to Argentina with a fucking BB Gun and have won the war herself.

1. As a Brit, I have to say

BOOOORING!

[Screaming Lord Byron]

2. Sink the Belgrano! Sink the Belgrano!

It may be obsolete, it may be no threat whatsoever and sailing away from the exclusion zone, hell, it may be packed with sixteen year old cadets, but we've got to rid the oceans of this hideous threat to world peace!

3. Don't both sides have to have an opportuity to win in a game?

I mean, Argentina didn't have much of a chance of winning.

OK, they had NO chance of winning...where's the "game" in that?

[EV1Ltimm]

4. to tell the world about the importance

of the falkland island to england's strategic sheep herding purposes.

[Rabrrrrrr]

5. I'll play, but I ain't playing Argentina

Unless I can borrow Germany's pieces from Axis and Allies

[BigMcLargehuge]

6. gee, what's next

a fully immersive AmericasArmy mod for the triumph in Grenada?

:eyes:

7. This was actually one of the scenarios on the old game Harpoon II

I never got around to playing it, but this isn't the first time that the Falklands have popped up on a video game. And I'm sure someone has made a scenario for Civ II or III based on it, just for the hell of it.

8. * custom-ordered a game so easy even he could win? (nt)
