The Falklands War: 1982 Golden
GONE GOLD posted on 1 JUN 2005 by Sean Drummy
ProSim's latest wargame has been completed.
ProSIM's latest and greatest development project, The Falklands War: 1982, has today been declared at gold status. Published through Shrapnel Games, The Falklands War: 1982 is claimed to be the first computer wargame (or board game) to examine the conflict set in the South Atlantic. The Cold War standoff between British and Argentinian forces was a showcase of modern military equipment (at least on the British side) and operations. Veteran UK artillery officer Gary Bezant was behind the game's design, which itself is based on ProSIM's flexible ATF engine. That engine was last used to power Raging Tiger (review).
"Based on an upgraded and evolved ATF game engine (most recently seen in Raging Tiger: The Second Korean War), The Falklands War: 1982 covers everything from bitter hand to hand combat to special operation insertions, to amphibious landings. A dynamic weather system (brand new to the ATF engine) adds some true fog to the "fog of war", and variable troop skill levels both help reflect the various levels of troops (from conscripts to highly trained and motivated professionals) and provide an amazing range of replayability within a single scenario."The Falklands War: 1982 is expected to retail for $44.95 and is available through the Shrapnel Games e-store. The projected ship date for the title is June 24, 2005 but gamers interested in getting more information can check out the demo or the official website.
