CONCLUSION - 3 Para at Mount Longdon - Falklands War 1982
“Oriskany” Jim and Elessar2590 finish up their game of Valor & Victory. This time they’re recreating the assault on Mount Longdon during the Falklands War of 1982.
On the night of June 11-12, 3rd Battalion of the elite British Para Regiment attacked elements of the Argentinian 7th Infantry Regiment, securely lodged among the rocks of this key high ground.
In particular, this game will test out new “symmetrical” modern warfare expansions to the V&V system, as well as night fighting rules, absolutely crucial to ANY wargames taking place during the Falklands War.
Commanding “B” Company / 3 Para, can Elessar take the high ground from Oriskany’s Argentinian defenders?

That was a really fun game thanks Jim.
It seems whenever we end up in the Falklands we end up breaking one another’s cool toys and the fight always gets very bloody. You sink my Aircraft Carrier? Cool I’ll just have that mortar thanks very much.
Both incidents were my fault, acually. HMS Hermes going down was due to my questionable scenario design, and that mortar was because I rolled boxcars on a fire mission check. 🙁 🙁 🙁
Wow, this thread is huge! Just finding it now.
Thanks, @pslemon – and damn, we’re closing in on 1700! I think I will retire the thread at 1700. Nice place to stop it before it gets too large.
