Argentina launches naval campaign to isolate Falkland Islands

[AnchorClanker]

Can't blame the Argies... Falklands being such an important, strategic sheep raising locale.


Is there any oil in the Falklands??   

Yeah, there's been talk of that recently.

We can use Argentinians as biofuel.

No blood for greasy spic biofuel. Use Ohio corn instead.

Biofuel is stupid, and you're a terrible person for advocating it.

The supply of petroleum is perfectly adequate if the world's population was reduced to a stable fifty million.

Terribly...profitable. $$

Terribly...profitable. $$ 

But only in the short term.

Yes, which the Argentinians refused to share thus delaying exploration until very recently when the Brits said "oh screw it, if they don't want freebies then so be it" and started work.

[CountDeMoney]

The Brits certainly have a habit of sticking around in countries they don't belong in.

All things are short term.  At least for human beings.

By the way, I thought I'd read that Argentinian military capabilities had decayed even more than Britain's since the 80s, can they actually really do much more than this?

Doesn't matter.  They don't have to go as far.

Playing the war in Harpoon (the miniatures one, not the PC shit) was a blast.

[Razgovory]

Well if they have a go at this time, hopefully the Argentines will remember to flick the "on" switch to their Exocets before shooting them off.

Did you ever get the South American War supplement?



Not only is it a great supplement for the mini system, but a fantastic overall read on the conflict in general.

I thought they performed very well with those *, it was the iron bombs ** they had trouble with.



* because they had french technicians helping them, allegedly.

** couldn't be arsed to read the two page vietnam era bomb arming instructions, urban myth.

The old GDW one.

I raped the rules holes in that one.

Me:Can I stage those trainers through the falklands?
Them: *looks* I guess it is okay.
Me:  *bombs the Brits with trainers with small bombs*
Me: BWHAHAHAHAHA!
