Falklands 1982 Naval Command – Campaign Falklands 1982 Falklands Conflict Campaign Guide for use with the Naval Command wargame rules By Rory Crabb Naval Command – Campaign Falklands 1982 Introduction The Falklands conflict was a ten-week war fought between Argentina and the United Kingdom over the British overseas territories of the Falkland Islands, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands. The conflict began on the 2nd of April 1982 when Argentine forces invaded the Falkland Islands and South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands the following day. On the 5th of April the British Government dispatched a naval taskforce to re-capture the islands. The Conflict lasted for 72 days until the Argentine surrender on the 14th of June. This campaign guide will allow Naval Command players to re-fight key engagements of the conflict and to play a number of “what-if” scenarios. Some of the scenarios (especially those re-creating air attacks on specific ships) will be very quick to play using the Naval Command rules. It is therefore suggested that these are played in conjunction with other scenarios. For example if a ship survives one scenario it will be available to the player in the next. HMS Invincible returns to Portsmouth (UK), Victorious Campaign Map Map courtesy of the Department of History, United States Military Academy Historical Scenarios Attack on the Santa Fe (25th April 1982) The Argentine submarine Santa Fe has just completed its mission of ferrying a party of marines to Grtviken in South Georgia and is returning to sea. British frigates are in the area keeping a sharp lookout. Santa Fe must safely exit the area and escape to open sea. Royal Navy Forces HMS Antrim (Type 21 Frigate) HMS Plymouth (Rothesay Class Frigate) HMS Brilliant (Type 22 Frigate) Argentine Forces ARA Santa Fe (Balao Class Submarine) Battle Area and Deployment The Royal Navy frigates must deploy first anywhere in the area marked on the diagram.

Argentine Victory Conditions The Santa Fe must safely exit the area in as shown on the diagram within eight turns. Air Battle (1st May 1982) Royal Navy Sea Harriers are launched to intercept an Argentine strike force. The Argentine Air Force has been launched to incorrect intelligence that amphibious landings are already underway. Royal Navy Forces HMS Invincible (Invincible Class Carrier) 6 x Sea Harrier Argentine Forces 2x A4 Skyhawks 2 x IAI Daggers 2 x Canberras 2 x Mirage III Airbase – Off Table Battle Area and Deployment The Argentine aircraft enter the area on the first turn.

Royal Navy entine Air Force entine Arg British Victory Conditions In order to win the game the British Ships must survive for at least four turns. Argentine Victory Conditions In order to win the game Argentine aircraft must sink at least one enemy ship within four turns. HMS Sheffield Attack on the Coventry (25th May 1982) British Frigates HMS Coventry and HMS Broadsword are acting as a decoy for enemy aircraft to draw them away from the amphibious landings taking place in San Carlos Water. Royal Navy Forces HMS Coventry (Type 42 Destroyer [Batch 1]) HMS Broadsword (Type 22 Frigate [Batch 1]) Argentine Forces 6x A4 Skyhawks (Bombs) 1x SP-2H Neptune AEW Aircraft Battle Area and Deployment All ships are deployed using blinds.

Argentine Victory Conditions In order to win the game Argentine aircraft must sink at least one enemy ship within four turns. HMS Coventry The Battle of San Carlos Water (21st – 25th May 1982) Amphibious landings are taking place in San Carlos water. The Naval task force must survive numerous Argentine air strike and safely land as many troops as possible. Royal Navy Fleet Rather than use all of the ships historically involved in the battle, the British player selects from the fleet lists as follows. - 1x Aircraft Carrier - 1x Assault Ship - 1x Auxiliary Ship - 2x Merchant Ships - 2x Destroyers/Frigates Royal Navy Air Cover HMS Hermes (Centaur Class Carrier) – Off Table HMS Invincible (Invincible Class Carrier – Off Table Royal Navy Landing Force HMS Fearless (Fearless Class Landing Ship) HMS Intrepid (Fearless Class Landing Ship) RFA Sir Geraint (Auxiliary Landing Ship) RFA Sir Tristram (Auxiliary Landing Ship) RFA Sir Galahad (Auxiliary Landing Ship) RFA Sir Percivale (Auxiliary Landing Ship) RFA Sir Lancelot (Auxiliary Landing Ship) RFA Fort Austin (Auxiliary Landing Ship) SS Canberra (Merchant Passenger Ship) Europic Ferry 4 (merchant RoRo) Elk 5 (Merchant RoRo) Royal Navy Escort Force HMS Ardent (Type 21 Frigate) HMS Antelope (Type 21 Frigate) HMS Brilliant (Type 22 Frigate) HMS Argonaut (Leander Class Frigate) HMS Plymouth (Rothesay Class Frigate) HMS Yarmouth (Rothesay Class Frigate) HMS Antrim (County Class Destroyer) Argentine Air Forces The Argentine force for this scenario only includes aircraft. After strikes or if driven off aircraft can return to their off table airbase to re-arm and re-fuel. The Argentine player has the following aircraft. 6x A4 Skyhawks 4x IAI Daggers 4x Mirage III 4x FMA OA-58 Pucara 4x SP-2H Neptune AEW Aircraft 1x Airbase (Off Table) Battle Area and Deployment All ships are deployed using blinds. The British Fleet deploy first as shown on the diagram. Argentine AEW aircraft enter the battle area during the first turn.

Royal Navy Argentine Air Force Air Argentine Target Area British Victory Conditions In order to win the game the British must land at least 60% of their ground forces within 20 turns. Argentine Victory Conditions In order to win the game Argentine aircraft must prevent the British from landing 60% of their ground forces within 20 turns. HMS Fearless in San Carlos Water Hypothetical Scenarios These are ideas for possible scenarios that could be played around the Falklands Conflict. These are “what-if” situations that never happened in reality. Players may wish to create their own scenarios or use the scenarios provided in the Naval Command core rules. Carrier Attack The Argentine aircraft carrier Veinticinco de Mayo and its escorts enters the conflict area. A British battlegroup is sent to intercept. Fleet Engagement The bulk of the Argentine fleet and the Royal Navy taskforce make contact in a devastating battle at sea. Task Force Intercept Argentine ships and submarines attempt to intercept the task force before its arrival at the Islands. The Royal navy must protect the landing ships and merchant navy ships from the attackers. Mainland Strike The conflict escalates leading to British amphibious forces carrying out an attack on the Argentine mainland.

Shortly after ordering, work was transferred to John Brown of Clydebank, but construction work was delayed because of higher priority being given to the repair of ships damaged in operations in Norway and from the Dunkirk evacuation. Laid down on 21st June 1941 and launched by Mrs Hatfield - the wife of Dr W H Hatfield, a Director of Thomas Firth – John Brown Ltd of Sheffield - on 15th July 1942, RELENTLESS was completed and commissioned on 30th November, 1942 bearing pennant number H85. RELENTLESS was assigned to the 11th Destroyer Flotilla and after Work Up at Scapa was nominated for Convoy escort duties in the South Atlantic and Indian Ocean throughout 1943. As part of the Eastern Fleet during 1944 and 1945, RELENTLESS was involved in a number of East Indies or Far East fleet operations, notably the bombardment of Sabang and the Surrender of Singapore and eventually left the Far East in October 1945 to return to the UK. RELENTLESS was paid off into Reserve at Chatham on arrival in UK in November 1945 and was laid up in the Chatham Reserve Fleet until 1947 when she was transferred to Harwich.

  • H.M.S. Leander
    Leander Class Frigate H.M.S. LEANDER 1972 - 1989 1/350 Scale The Type 12 (Improved) or Leander Class Frigates that were introduced into Royal Navy service from the early 1960’s, were the most numerous of any of the classes of ships of the modern era. The design of the Leander class was based on the earlier Whitby and Rothesay class Type 12 hull, which had already proved it’s excellent sea keeping qualities, but had a simplified superstructure layout which included a built in helicopter hangar. The hull was built up flush with the main deck at the stern, which gave a better protected area for the variable depth sonar installation as well as improved deck space around the mortar well . The Leander class Frigates were split into three batches and were built between 1959 and 1973. The first batch of 10 was fitted with Y100 machinery the second batch of 6 having the upgraded Y136 machinery fitted. The third batch of 10 ships were known as the Broad Beam Leander’s and had a hull that was wider by 2 feet to accommodate the Y160 machinery fit. HMS Leander, was the name ship of the first batch of the Leander class and was laid down at Harland and Wolff of Belfast on 10th April 1959.Originally intended to be a Rothesay Class Frigate to name HMS Weymouth the plans were changed for her completion as a new Leander class ship. She was launched on 28th June 1961 and commissioned into service on 27th March 1963. Her early years between 1963 and 1970 were spent in her original fit as a general purpose frigate with the twin 4.5” Mk6 gun turret mounted on the fore deck.
