The Falklands War: 1982 Demo Ready For
Action!

Two Scenario Demo Now Available for the
Windows OS!

Cary, NC, 16 May 2005

Travel back twenty-three years and join the
fight on a remote South Atlantic island chain in which the sheep outnumber the
human inhabitants, and blood was spilled all in the name of a dictatorship
trying to cling onto their rule. This is The Falklands War, a British/Argentina
conflict that only lasted a short while but whose memory is still fresh today
for the nations that fought.

Now serious students of military history and
true wargamers can take a gander at reliving this period by downloading the demo
for ProSIM’s upcoming game on the conflict, The Falklands War: 1982, published
by Shrapnel Games and available for the Windows operating system. In an era of
bloated demos that provide more style than substance, The Falklands War: 1982
demo weighs in under twenty megs and provides players with a wonderfully rich
gaming experience.

The demo includes two scenarios: a tutorial
that covers a SAS raid on Pebble Island, and a regular scenario detailing a
British attack on Argentinean defensive positions. Both scenarios feature fully
detailed and highly engrossing mission briefings that do a wonderful job of
setting the scenario up for the player. Even if you were only vaguely aware of
the conflict before playing the demo you will soon have a better understanding
of it (and if you play the full retail game you’ll be on way to becoming an
expert on the subject matter in no time!). And with ProSIM’s excellent AI the
replay value of the demo is extremely high as you search for the perfect plan of
battle.

Using a modified game engine that debuted in
another excellent ProSIM title on modern warfare, ATF: Armored Task Force, and
which was also used in the recent Raging Tiger: The Second Korean War (of which
noted grognard James Werbaneth said recently in Line of Departure, "…it
abundantly delivers a very interesting, enlightening even, wargame
experience."), The Falklands War: 1982 is a perfect blend of simulation and
education. With such details as bayonet charges, melee combat, amphibious
landings, naval gun fire, close air support, armor, and much, much more The
Falklands War: 1982 game will let players fully appreciate the difficulties
faced by commanders during that conflict from the safety of their desk.
Additionally, hypothetical scenarios will give gamers a chance to try a variety
of "what if" scenarios to see if the outcome could have been different with say,
heavy armor in play.
