Default Re: Historical Quality

I hope that no one equates (and I know you didn't mean this) our weighting of the forces in TFW with any commentary on the relative patriotism, valor, or value of the soldiers as individuals.

But it is our analysis that the training level of the British soldiers on the island, and the relative quality of their equipment was superior to that of the Argentinian force in the battles examined. Note I said TRAINING. Training and leadership are not the same thing. The leadership of each force was not examined. Rather (and Gary, the game designer, can speak to this much better than I) the relative efficiency and lethality of each forces was examined. And, in this examination, it seems that British forces were consistently more successful in each engagement, which general points to deficiencies in training and equipment.

And, again, Chelco, I know you were not implying any such thing. I just felt this was a good opportunity to say it explicitly.
