Thanks, @templar007 – just please note that these maps are not showing any real historical positions of the warships. Well, the one in San Carlos is close. But for instance, the Belgrano was hit and sunk close to 150 miles off the southwestern corner of this map (75″ in game terms). And those ships in the extreme lower right corner (Argentinian Guerico, Santa Fe, HMS Antrim, etc.), are at Grytviken, South Georgia at the the British arrival. That’s something like 1400 km further east (870 miles, 435 inches, or 36 feet, and this table is already “ten feet” across).

I’m actually a little frustrated with this game at the moment. The Falklands game supplement seems to be from a different edition or some such than the base rules? So the rules I have are NOT jiving with the warship values given in the Falklands supplement. Completely different damage codes for the warships, for starters. Now I have to cross-reference for 20 warship classes and draw up all my own charts. This is the reason I spend money on games instead of designing my own, so I don’t have to draw up my own charts … Grrr ….
