Description: Wargamer Magazine #28 Port Stanley Battle for the Falklands Port Stanley is a simulation of the British reconquest of the Falkland Islands in May and June 1982. The Argentine forces occupied them by force at the beginning of April. The simulation takes place on part of East Falkland Island, where the capital and only town and most of the islands’ population were located and concentrates on the amphibious landings and land battle. It is assumed for purposes of the simulation that the Argentines have also occupied West Falkland Island for political purposes (to establish control over all the islands) but that, given the overriding importance of East Falkland, the British are bypassing the West Island, as they die in fact. The non-intervention of the Argentine surface fleet after the sinking of the cruiser General Belgrano, another component of the historical situation is also assumed; as is the outcome of air battles outside the immediate waters around the island. Thus, the players take the roles of the two ground commanders – Argentine Brigadier General Mario Benjamin Menendez and British Major general Jeremy Moore – with historical levels of air support available to them. Some variations on these assumptions are included in the optional rules. "This is a moderate complexity operational level game with good level of detail. Low unit density; The rules are reasonably complete and clear."
