Hi Jim,

All of the resource data I used leans towards the vast majority of the troops being of poor quality. The evidence points towards them being poorly trained and certainly poorly led. There are accounts that while the rank and file were deployed on the open mountains the officers had acquired accommodation in Port Stanley. That said, they were still quite able to give a good account of themselves. The first day of Goose Green proves that they could be tenacious in defence.

However the Special Forces and quite possibly the Marines were of a higher calibre in both training and leadership.

I have tried to reflect this in TFW by using the training level tool in the Scenario Builder. When playing TFW I set both sides to veteran as the training level tool is designed to implement the differences in military skill.

I hope this has answered your question. If not let me know.

By the way thanks for taking the time and trouble to review TFW.

regards

Gary
