Nice. But the Brits, shouldn't they have FAL's?

It depends There are plenty of references to the Royal Marines and Paras using M-16 during this time, especially in Northern Ireland and the Falklands. Usually highly mobile units relying on what they could carry themselves. (I am far from an expert on fire arms but I believe M-16 is lighter than SLR. This is backed up by a good friend of mine who was in Mountain and Arctic Warfare Cadre of RM in 90s) Good spot!

I'm torn between being impressed by the weathering job or simply wowed by the little flowers.
The opinions of this poster are largely based on facts and portray a possible version of the actual events. More dumb stuff at http://www.darts-page.comFrom Laser: "The forum is the place where combat (real time) flight simulator fans come to play turn based strategy combat."

The poor demoralised Argie conscript, under-trained and ill-equipped, probably deserted by his officers in that cold damp inhospitable environment looks suitably despondent in this excellent work.

Thanks everyone. Ajay - This base is mostly an off the shelf mat. The stones and lots of the vegetation are all included. I cut some strips out to make the wheel ruts, and added a few tufts, the tall grass, and the yellow flowers. All told, about an hour of tinkering. I totally agree with your comments Colonel. I started off just building the vehicle, but wanted to make a base, to show the Falklands environment. Then I decided to add the figures because I wanted a go at showing DPM camouflage. So it grew piecemeal with no real cohesion or 'story'. Love your quote Nixer
