As previous posts have hinted at, my first venture into modern aerial combat gaming will be a Falklands War project. I'm easing myself into the genre using
Air War C21 rules by Wessex Games.
The first scenario will be a hypothetical encounter between a section of Sea Harriers intercepting a section of Argentine Dassault Mirage III's over San Carlos Water (Bomb Alley) on 1 May 1982, as the air war above the Falklands was just beginning to escalate
Gaming time is rare at the moment (study, work, yeech!) so it may take a while - besides, I'm still rereading the rules. Here's a few atmospheric shots of the table. Simple, but effective for 'whatever is at hand' set up!

| Sea Harriers! |

| San Carlos Water looks cold in the last light of day! |

| Great late afternoon light has added some atmosphere to this shot. |

| Argentine Dassault Mirage III |

Cool!
