1982 [Quenched]

[koontz1973]

On a side note, it is the 30th anniversary of the conflict next year.

The Falkland Islands, sovereign British territory since 1833, were forcibly seized by Argentina in April 1982.

That act lead to the 74-day Falklands War, which was won by Margaret Thatcher's Task Force, and which cost the lives of 258 British servicemen and 649 Argentines.

As of right now, I'm not seeing any glaring problems with gameplay. I'll get a couple of others to take a look at it.

Looking good - but the aircraft kind of disappear on my notebook screen, maybe the image could be embossed a little (or some'nk like that)?

And I forgot this graphics thing. For some reason I don't think the Argentinians or the Brits had or have the A-10's. Those Chinooks yes, but not the A-10's. You might want to replace them with a replica of the aircraft they used. Such as the Harrier.

Planes can go through a redraw, no problem now that I have learnt how to do it.
Thanks for the look isaiah40, lets hope the others do not see anything.

Press refresh.

Lay of the mind altering substances.

If you still do not see anything, I can suggest a good optromotrist.

After heavy sedation I see a wonderful hue of change ... would be nice but not mandatory of course ... if the planes had a more structure about them, like embossery or outline or a shadow or some such (hint ... maybe cut and paste and play with the plane imeage and them paste it back or something ... or ... ) .... er

[koontz1973]

Here is the Harrier in the plane strip. Gave both vountries a different lighter colour. Not sure if it was needed but the came out allright. A little smaller than the other aircraft so might need to increase the size a bit.

Yeah! Much better!

Did the Argentinians use Harriers too?

Good point ... no they used Skyhawks while the British had the Sea Harriers. The links have pictures of the planes. Note that other types of planes were also used.

[koontz1973]

They did use harriers, but only in a very limited capacity. Not sure if they where used in the conflict though. Will change to
Skyhawk

or
Dagger

or
Mirage


While I am at it, I will change the Englich helicopter to a sea king.

[koontz1973]

Did the redraw on the planes. Changed the (A) planes to the Skyhawk and the (B) helicopter to the Seaking. Also did a slight adjustment to the ALZ1 so it does not sit on top of the forest now. Had a go at arrows too.
