Falklands War: Falkland Islands
built 644 days ago
[I]ncluded in The Falklands War: 1982 are ten "What-If" scenarios. Six of the what-if scenarios look at what might have happened if certain orders or actions had been carried out during the campaign. The other four scenarios are a hypothetical look at what might have happened if the terrain on the Falkland Islands had been suitable enough to allow armour to be deployed.

The Falklands War was a war that should not have occurred. Unlike many disputes, world wide, there was (as Dillon observes) no lack of suitable peace formulas, notwithstanding the apparent objections of the islanders themselves to a transfer of sovereignty. The wishes of the local inhabitants is not to be taken as an overriding consideration any more than it has been in the case of Hong Kong. It is hard to believe that a determined effort to bring local opinion around could not have been successful, particularly if it had been backed up by the application of only a fraction of the financial resources which were subsequently used in the military defence of the islands.

The Falklands War began on April 2, 1982, when Argentine troops landed in the Falkland Islands. Fighting ended on June 14, following the British liberation of the islands' capital, Port Stanley, and the surrender of Argentine forces in the Falklands. The British declared a formal end to military activity on June 20.

The Falklands War began when the Argentinian dictator, Generallissimo "Bastardo Fascisti" Galtiari wanted total control of the island's whiskey production. Obnubilated by the effects of alcohol, he sent-forth the might of the Argentine fleet to take the Falklands, having mistaken them for the West Coast of Scotland.

The aim of the Falklands 25 Task Force Trophy Match is to Commemorate the 25th Anniversary of the Falklands War. To remember the 255 men of the Task Force and the 3 Falkland Islanders killed in the conflict. And to raise funds for the South Atlantic Medal Association (1982) who represent all Falklands Veterans.
