I've eaten at an Argentinian restaurant. It was pretty nice, to be fair.

Their beef is dodgier than ours though, in terms of Foot and Mouth Disease...

Yeah, but yours did only last decade...

I'm eagerly anticipating Falklands 2. Pretty sure the Argies are going to get waxed without ever making it to "Maldives"

So am I

We can go there and settle it up with a 40K game? I'd need to hurry and paint my stuff.

No no, a campaign of this magnitude requires EPIC!

I believe that the British normally settle up with bridge or backgammon or some nonsense.
I sincerely hope that your government stops playing crazy politics about the Falklands before war breaks out, but I see little realistic hope. The limeys on the other hand need a short victorious war; in all honesty the Brits will probably wait until their carrier commissions. In the year prior to that expect the Argie gov to start agitating either war or trying to convince the UN to just give the FI to the Argies by non binding resolution.
It's a mess and any way you swing it the Argies will get stomped, the only question is how long will it take and how bad will it be.

Frazz: epic is for "massive" Armies it says so on the box. FI2 would be more like 40k in 40 minutes

Actually, it's funny how the world gets worked up, when this is just bravado from our president to keep people here too busy lookin' at the Malvinas while her minions put their hands in our pockets.

I won't start an historical debate about who's the real owner, because this post it's not the place either, but I guess I can talk about this in a civilized way, in private. I came here to meet fellow wargamers, not to pick up internet fights

As an academic, I would not mind a civilised discussion on the affair via PM, if you'd be interested.

To the best of my abilities, since my (as a hobby) area of expertise would be warfare from centuries IX to XII.

Although why she doesn't use a real place to distract the people with (such as the Falklands Islands) rather than some imaginary non-existant place called "Malvinas" is beyond me

Mate, I pretty much said exactly that!

Dark wrote:I came here to meet fellow wargamers, not to pick up internet fights

I didn't figure you were looking for a fight.

Now that you mention it, the UK might hurry that destroyer along, and send a buddy or two.

Simple. The Falklands are so cold, grey and wet they must be a part of Britain!

...cold, grey and wet...

Just like their women, eh?

That's another mental scar for the collection.

I didn't say anything about Argentinian women.

You haven't met many British women, then, have you boy?

Only the ones bright enough to decide on coming down here.

Yes, like the Welsh Prime Minister you have. I've seen it and you can keep it!

That is incorrect. The Human/Wiener Dog alliance goes back much further.

And I quote TBone: "Damn straight. All your flavorful snackie treats are belong to us!"

It goes straight back to...Germany!

Frazzled, Neo-Nazi overlord.

I think you missed a few posts were I offered the civilized alternative of manly battle on Iron Chef. You also seem to have gotten confused between Argentina and Portugal.

Iron Chef? That's for pussy countries.

Try this...

Finally, a Frazzled I can get onboard with!

Wait Neo-Nazis are the cool ones that wear long leather jackets right?

Corrected your typo.
Speaking of. TBone's latest maneuver - yesterday afternoon. He thought I was giving the big dog a treat (heartworm preventative). When I wouldn't give it to him he walked over, barked at me, and peed on my blue jeans shirt I had draped over the kitchen chair. Wow. thats some kind of donkey-cave.
