Playing ARG side;

Today Capitan Piluso is commited to intercept and destroy a
British group coming from Ascencion Island to Malvinas.

Seems a difficult task because the exact position of the enemy
is unknown,but it was spotted 12 hours in a RefPoint coming south,so
first of all an intercept solution must be traced.

My TF : CL General Belgrano, DD Sma. Trinidad , DD H. Bouchard and
DD Segui.
The scen designer was kind enough to provide my ships with Alouette helos
(no radar at all) so they will be enjoying suicidal missions trying
to visually detect enemies.....:angry:

Once set the TF to the intercept path, I detach DD Segui and put it
40 nm ahead of the group with intermitent emissions.Five hours later
an aerial contact and 3 skunks are detected west,that means time for
action is here !!

This ships were detected by two Alouettes which were obviously
sunk by the enemy forces but I got a good idea of their position.
Now I had: RFA Olmeda,FF Broadswaord,FF Minerva and Glamorgan detected,
a nice group to evaporate as soon as possible.

But those guys were really angry, a Sea Slug killed my DD Segui and
some minutes later th S.Trinidad was also sunk.Flank speed to put those
bandits in range and 152mm HE and AP guns from CL Belgrano were
my bloody response to the attack,also fired a pair of Exocets from DD Bouchard
trying to hit Glamorgan but had no luck with it.

With only Belgrano and Bouchard alive and firing tons of metal into enemy ships,
an hour later could met V.C. and felt that south waters were secure
again.:smoke:

An easy,fun and short scen to play with.(Thx Herman)
