Resolution 502 1982

These scenarios are designed to be used together with Harpoon 1, also published by Adventure Games, Inc. It models the crisis in the Falklands as a method of generating tactical engagements that can be fought with Harpoon 1.

The scenario describes the events starting on April 2, 1982 when the armed forces of Argentina invaded the Falkland Islands, a British possession in the South Atlantic long claimed by Argentina. The actual game starts on 27 April, with the Argentine forces in possession of the Falklands and the British task force about to arrive in the area. It provides rules that allow two players to submit written orders to a referee, who then moves units accordingly. The referee determines when combat occurs, and transfers the action to a tactical game. After the action is fought, the results are implemented on the strategic level. The original Harpoon© rules are extended, clarifications and enhancements are also provided for; detection, combat, movement, and damage. Additional weapons systems are also described.
