Default Re: TFW - Tumbledown

There is both a british and argentinian "what if" scenario on Mount Tumbledown, as well. If you select "Begin a Camaign Mission," and then select "What If Missions," There are two mount tumbledown missions listed:

Quote:
Counterattack on Mount Tumbledown (1). This scenario expands on the Historical Tumbledown scenario. This event actually came very close to happening. During the closing stages of the Battle for Mount Tumbledown the local Argentine commander requested permission to lauch a counterattack against the Scots Guards. He was refused permisson and the counterattack never happened. This scenario assumes that the local Argentine commander was allowed to mount his counterattack.Played as the British.

Counterattack on Mount Tumbledown (2). This is the Counterattack on Mount Tumbledown (1) scenario flipped from the British to the Argentine side and expands on the Historical Tumbledown scenario. This event actually came very close to happening. At around 0800hrs on the morning of 14 June Commander Robacio of the 5th Marine Bn was organizing a counterattack. The unit involved was O CoY, 5 Marine Bn commanded by Captain Quiroga. Before Commander Robacio could complete his preparation he received orders from Brigadier General Joffre's Chief of Staff, Colonel Aguilar to evacuate Mount Tumbledown. The planned counterattack never happened. This scenario assumes that Commander Robacio's counterattack takes place. In this scenario some of the friendly forces on Mount Tumbledown are not locked in place at the start of the game. Feel free to make changes to the deployments if you wish. Played as the Argentines.
In short, the manual is correct. There are 4 tumbledown scenarios. 2 are british, 2 are argentinian.
