Mrs. Thatcher’s War: The Falklands, 1982 is a solitaire wargame that illustrates the general strategic course of the 1982 Falklands War between Britain and Argentina, and highlights important historical themes. It is two games in one: a naval/air game (whose mechanics are based on Ben Madison’s Don’t Tread On Me system, but using ships and aircraft instead of armies!) in which the British Player fights against the game system’s Argentine AI to establish control of the skies; and a ground game (modeled after the game system featured in Mound Builders and The First Jihad) in which the British Player takes advantage of his air superiority to fight and ‘yomp’ his ground troops across East Falkland to final victory or defeat in the hills around Stanley.
The game features all the historical chrome for which this design team is so well known, including Exocet missiles, Falkland Islander civilian resistance, diplomatic shuttles, covert Soviet aid, SAS guerilla missions, Chilean intervention, US assistance, the Gurkhas, helicopters, ace pilots, and even the Pope!

The Falkland was was nothing more than a political stunt to enable Thatcher to win the next election. Disgusting and Evil man in drag. She should have been hung.

Not a man in drag, just an odious woman, the jingoism she inspired was sickening. the failure of British Intelligence was appalling, Britain was talking to Argentina about trade and investment up to the day of the invasion.

The one thing I gathered in how this game was presented is that it was by no means a forgone conclusion this was a ‘walk in the park’ for the UK forces. The vast distance really presented logistical challenges in the projection of power.

WTID is a great game, sold mine after 10 games, enjoyed each one, a guilty? pleasure was losing badly leading to Mrs Thatcher being thrown out!

Controversy over the war aside, thank you Players Aid for reviewing games on controversial subject matters. It’s really appreciated. It’s only by learning about history do we have any chance of not repeating it.
