The call of duty for Capitan Piluso is knocking again his cabin door, and this time
he will have to defeat a British force which came to Malvinas in angry terms.So let´s
give this funny sailors a bath of ice and blood.:freak:

I am in command of TF06(DDG Segui and CL Gral. Belgrano) ; TF07 ( AKA A.Lobo and
DD Piedra Buena) and my SS Santiago del Estero,and to meet VC´s SS has to head
South Thule, sink an enemy cruiser and position A.Lobo near Port Stanley for 6 hours
(this does not seem to be an easy task, but several battles have tempered my soul)

When the game starts TF07 is naer P.Stanley,so all I have to do is to take a
defensive position, meanwhile SS will head South Thule and TF06 will head to
Port Stanley at high speed,I believe British will try to get close to Port
Stanley too.
A sea King and an Alouette are ordered to search in advance to TF06, some time later
a HMS Phoebe , a Tiger and an Olwen are found, but I am too far away to give them
a first shot, so I decide to detach Piedra Buena and set cruise speed and passive
Emcom to give this guys a warm welcome.a pair of Exocets from Piedra Buena
hit the Phoebe, but a second pair of Exocets turn back and followed a
strange and odd course ( I was alive by pure luck), but the good thing is that
BDA says that Phoebe appears damaged,on fire.
By this time, TF06 is closing Tiger and General Belgrano fires her with nice
152mmm shots, and although G.Belgrano receives some fire Tiger tries to escape
heading south at 8 knots...so lets set ahead full and give that Tiger a final touch
Some minutes later appears damaged, on fire...

Now I can feel VC´s are really near, but is dinner time and must save this
pretty session.
Next night I try to load the game and wait for an honourable and glorious victory,
but all I get is a frozen cursor and no way to make this work...damn I managed
to defeat one of the most powerful navies of the world,but windows + matrix games
killed my efforts with a bad saved file in a second...:mad::mad::mad:

Anyway it was an interesting scen to play,although my ships detected an Hormone(RUS)
helo...will have to fire my Intel officers, I did not know these red guys were
patrolling these austral waters.

Another game, another valuable lesson learned: Save often and save under different names. :)

Nice AAR, too bad you were beaten by a bug.

Hi Captain

Nice AAR! Thanks for playing the scen I built. Seems Belgranos 15 guns fared well against Tigers 2! Sorry you could not finish it. If you want an 'impossible' challenge try Chlean side!

Thanks to you for your effort about building this scen.(BTW, a scen about the recent Lybian crysis would be fine...)

I plan to take a bath of glory playing Chilean side ... hope to survive.:smoke:
Cheers
