1.0 Introduction
1.1 Background: This scenario is designed to be used
together with Harpoon©, 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©.
1.2 Scope: 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 0001
EDT 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.
1.3 Scales: In addition to the scales for turns described in
Harpoon, the players will also write orders on a daily basis,
called a "strategic turn". This in no way reflects the pace of
the battle, but rather the decision-making cycle used by the
commanders on both sides. Orders will be described in more
detail in section 3.1. Map scales are shown on the map, and
are used normally by the referee to plot the position of both
side's units.
1.4 Required Materials: The most important requirement is a
referee moderately experienced with Harpoon©. If there is no
such person available, play a few games of Harpoon©
without any strategic background, possibly reenacting some
of the battles around the Falklands described in Chapter 2.
After the players have some familiarity with the rules, they
can move on to trying the entire campaign.
2.0 Mechanics
2.1 Setup: All players are urged to read the rules before star-
ting the campaign. The British player should place his main
TF at the entry point marked on the map. He should give the
ref a standard steaming formation diagram, and standing
orders for radio silence, EMCON, etc. He may also give other
standing orders if he wishes, such as CAP stationing. By
game start, he has already taken S. Georgia, and does not
need to concern himself with it in this game, unless he wants
to.
Both players should have copies of the map, as well as the
referee. Permission is given to xerox it for game purposes on-
ly. The players should also xerox off copies of the Aircraft
2 orders are vague, Murphy's law takes over.
Operational Status Chart (see inside front cover}, cover it with
a transparent report protector, and fill it in with the status of
their air forces with grease pencils. They should try and
group their surface forces into task-oriented groups, and ad-
dress their orders to the group commanders, rather than to
individual ships.
The Argentine player should decide which air units to place at
which airfields (he may move them around on his strategic
turn}. He may also place his naval units anywhere he wishes,
except that he can have no units within 150 nm of the entry
point at the start of the game. He may move units there alter
game start if he wishes (British player take note!}.
The referee should begin the first turn by telling the players
the weather and whatever strategic information is available,
he then allows them to write their orders for 0001 hrs 27
April.
2.2 Orders by the Players: The players in this game represent
the highest level decision makers on each side, roughly
analogous to the Junta on one side and the Fleet Com-
mander/War Cabinet on the other. Each player will submit
daily orders covering 0001 hrs to 2400 hours for a given day.
The.se may be as detailed or as simple as the player permits.
The players should be aware, however, that Murphy's law
prevails, and that orders can be misunderstood. A typical
day's orders might consist of:
"0100 Antelope, Sheffield, and Arrow detach from TF (task
force} and proceed to Port Stanley at cruising speed. Conduct
shore bombardment of port and return to TF." The referee
would determine when the ships would arrive off Port Stanley,
and thus commence their attack.
"Aermacchi squadron move from Port Stanley airfield to Rio
Gallegos airfield."
These are typical, but not exhaustive orders. A player can
also give standing orders, for instance, that two Harriers and
two Sea King helicopters are to be aloft at all times, perform-
ing specified duties.
The referee will notify the players of the results of these
orders as they occur. This might result in the player modify-
ing orders or making new ones. This is allowed. The referee
must use some common sense, but modern communications
allow almost instant knowledge of the tactical situation. As an
example, the captain of HMS Conqueror reached the vicinity
of the General Belgrano, and then asked for permission to at-
tack from the TF commander. He conferred with the British
War Cabinet, who were the ones to actually give the order to
engage.
The players should think of the days' orders as a tactical
"plan" to be followed, unless circumstances force a change.
Modifications to the plan are possible, but the referee should
prevent frequent changes, perhaps by raising the chance of
an order being garbled, or old orders being executed along
with the new.
2.3 Role of the Referee: Alter the players submit their orders
to him, the referee's job begins. He takes the movement
orders and plots them on the map, then looks for occasions
when the units come within sensor range of each other. The
pertinent sensors are described in Harpoon©. He also
divulges tactical and strategic information to the players. For
example, he might tell the British player that as a result of the
Harrier strike previously ordered on Goose Green airstrip, the
strip was cratered, and that he saw no aircraft on the ground.
He might tell the Argentine player that the attack was made by
7-15 Harriers, and that he may have damaged some of the air-
craft with flak.
It is strongly recommended that the referee keep a log, con-
sisting of the player's orders, strategic events, and the
results. Based on the skill of the players, it can make highly
amusing or exciting reading. It also helps the ref keep track of
events, especially if the campaign stretches out over any
length of time.
2.4 Turn sequence
tt The players write their orders for the upcoming day, and
submit them to th.e referee.
tt The referee takes the orders and executes them in
chronological order. For example, if the Argentine player has
order timed for 0100, 1100. and 2100, while the British
player has orders timed for 0400, 0800, and 2100, the
referee will be executing the orders at 0100(A}, 0400(B},
0800(B}, 1100(A), and two at 2100.
Within the referee's turn, for each order he should:
tt Plot the units' movement.
tt Look to see if the unit(s) come within sensor range of the
other side.
tt Note other later orders that may affect the unit being plot-
ted.
tt If necessary, notify the players, transfer the involved units
to the tactical surface and let them resolve the combat (see
section 4.4 on the Tactical/Strategic interface).
tt Record the results of combat, return to the strategic level,
and continue to execute the orders.
3.0 Movement
3.1 Strategic Movement Orders
All movement orders must contain five things: Which units
are to move, when they should start, a course and speed, and
a distance to travel. The course is expressed in degrees (090
degrees is due east, 225 degrees is southwest) and the speed
is expressed in knots (nautical miles per hour).
Variations on this are possible. For instance, distance and
course can be replaced with a fixed geographic destination.
Moving points, such as ships or aircraft can be used only if
they are friendly and their position is known. In any case, the
idea is to have definite orders telling a unit where to go. If the
3
Special rules pertain to aircraft moving from one base to
another. Aircraft are moved by squadrons (9-12 planes) or
half squadrons. See Annex S for a list of available Argentine
air squadrons. The British Sea Harriers can be assumed to be
grouped 10 planes to a squadron. A squadron or half-
squadron can be ordered to shift its base, taking one full day
to do so. Once shifted it operates normally. They may perform
one mission while moving, so long as the total distance flown
does not exceed twice the operational radius.
3.2 Tactical Movement: Movement on the tactical board is
done in accordance with the rules in section 4.1 of Har-
poon©.
3.3 Strategic/Tactical Interlace: When the rel decides there
is a chance that two opposing units are going to meet or in-
teract in some way, the action must be transferred to the tac-
tical board. There are several guidelines that the ref should
use in setting up the tactical situation:
tt Determine how much prior, or strategic information each
player has about the opposing side. For example, does the
player have any idea there are opposing units out there? II so,
how did he find out? The source of the information will deter-
mine the type and accuracy of the information. When did he
get the inforrnation? This determines if he has time to rear-
range his formation, or call for reenforcements.
tt Keep close track of the units' position on the strategic plot.
When they are transferred to the tactical plot, determine the
time of the first turn (e.g. 0926) and the position of the two
forces relative to each other (e.g. British formation is 30 nm
bearing 225 degrees from the Argentines). The starting posi-
tion for the two sides should be just outside weapons and
sensor ranges of the two sides. This is important, since as
soon as the players are on the tactical board, they will start
acting on the knowledge that since "they are on the tactical
board, they must be going to fight something". As always,
these rules are guidelines only, and I depend on the referee to
use creativeness and common sense.
3.4 Aircraft Radii: Unlike a tactical game of Harpoon©, where
the action takes place over a relatively small area, Resolution
502© must take into account aircraft ranges and their effects
on play. Provided on the bottom of the next page are the radii
for all combat aircraft employed in this scenario. The numbers
given assume that the aircraft travels most of the way at
cruise speed, and only goes to maximum speed once it is in
combat. It also assumes that the aircraft is carrying a normal
load of either attack or intercept ordnance. In game terms,
this means that the referee should compute the time for air-
craft to arrive at a given point using the cruise speeds provid-
ed here. Once the aircraft gets in combat, it can use maximum
speed. Section 6.13 in Harpoon© also applies to attacks
against surface ships, but change the rule to read ten turns
instead of seven. This means that once an aircraft has gone to
full speed (anything over cruise) it will have to slow down to

The two weather tables are rolled independently. It is possible
for there to be gale-force winds and excellent visibility, or
zero visibility in calm seas.
Weather Effects: Annex M in Harpoon© lists some restric-
tions to operations caused by weather. Section 4.45 of Har-
poon© talks about aircraft landing and launching in high sea
states. Especially important is the limitation of aircraft opera-
tions caused by low visibility. In Resolution 502©, The only
aircraft types capable of operating in bad weather are the Sea
Harrier and the Super Entendard. Additional notes for am-
phibious operations: The lee shore of the Islands has a sea
state one or two levels less than that present in open ocean
(approx 10 nm off shore). A sheltered bay, such as San
Carlos, will drop the sea state three or four levels. At higher
sea states the reduction is greater. LCMs cannot operate in
waves of sea state 3. LCVPs cannot operate in sea states of 2
or more.

Their armored elements include LVTP-7s, AML-90s,
AMX-13s, Kueissiers (105mm TDs).
The Argentines also used two AN/TPS-43 American made
mobile surface radar units. The range of these systems is 250
nm with a 80 per cent chance of detection. If placed on the
Falkland highlands these antennas are considered to be
operating at low altitude (1000'). If these units are hit by air
attack they are out of action for D6 x 12 hours x the number
of successful attacking aircraft. If the result is greater than 24
hours the radar unit or units are eliminated.

Unless otherwise stated, all British merchant ship speeds are
16 kts.
Argentine:
The Argentine Navy can charter as many merchant vessels as
it likes for supply purposes. Displacement in Gross registered
tons is equal to 2D10 x 1000 tons, speed = 12 + 2D6 kts.
Computing Damage Points: Gross Registered Tonnage is ap-
proximately equivalent to Full Load tonnage, and gives a
larger rating for the same ship compared to Standard
Displacement. Use the damage point computation provided in
Harpoon, Annex M, but multiply the final result by .25, in-
stead of .5, to compensate for the larger GRT tonnages.
The two weather tables are rolled independently. It is possible
for there to be gale-force winds and excellent visibility, or
zero visibility in calm seas.
Weather Effects: Annex M in Harpoon© lists some restric-
tions to operations caused by weather. Section 4.45 of Har-
poon© talks about aircraft landing and launching in high sea
states. Especially important is the limitation of aircraft opera-
tions caused by low visibility. In Resolution 502©, The only
aircraft types capable of operating in bad weather are the Sea
Harrier and the Super Entendard. Additional notes for am-
phibious operations: The lee shore of the Islands has a sea
state one or two levels less than that present in open ocean
(approx 10 nm off shore). A sheltered bay, such as San
Carlos, will drop the sea state three or four levels. At higher
sea states the reduction is greater. LCMs cannot operate in
waves of sea state 3. LCVPs cannot operate in sea states of 2
or more.
