Re: Historical Quality
Pat you are a gentleman. And you are spot on too!
The game models each force adequately. I was just giving a small comment on some misconceptions that are common (mainly in my country, Argentina) about the middle and low rank officers from the Argentinean Army and Navy. Even after all these years, who could have been better used to correctly put blame or glory into each rank of the Argentinean Army/Navy, the concept of "incompetent/coward/evil/torturer/anti-democratic" Argentinean Army/Navy officers during the Falklands/Malvinas war is alive and well. The soon to be released movie "Iluminados por el Fuego" is a clear example of that.
The amount of errors made by high rank Argentinean officers at the strategical and operational levels is huge. However, many middle and low level officers knew of those mistakes and got into fierce arguments to correct them. For example, Col Balza (in charge of Artillery Group 3, south east of Port Stanley/Puerto Argentino) had to beg for long range artillery he knew he needed for the upcoming battle. He correctly anticipated where the UK would push hard and knew what type of artillery they had. He finally got just one artillery piece for that purpose without authorization from his superiors. Just incredible.
Looking forward for Jim's review.
