The Falklands are pretty bare IRL too. I once heard someone descibe them as "moors in the middle of the South Atlantic."

EDIT: Messy outposted me.

Falklands are a barren mooreland, with a number of small settlements dotted about ie goose green, darwin, san carlos and the largest "capital" Port Stanley.

The ground is largley boggy peat (hence no heavy armour during the conflict) and the islands have a number of rocky "mountains"

there are a number of trees planted in stanley and thats all smile_o.gif

Sorry for repeating myself but seeing as you are all here can the sinking effect for Col Klink's trawler be applied to a multiple modelled Ship?

I'd have to kill you if I told you biggrin_o.gif

@Acecombat..

This is what we mean by barren....

darwin.jpg

It's mainly gorse, peat bogs, small bushes and 2 trees in the capital Stanley (outside the governors residence Government House)

That's what you call a battlefield..

Are the Argies going to be playable? Will your mod come with MP missions (co-op, CTF, DM, etc?)

You know everything is playable... biggrin_o.gifbiggrin_o.gif

Though I am curious as well... will any of the missions have you playing on the Argentinian side?

- How could you forget the plantation just to the west of Hill Cove on W Falkland? Must be nearly three-quarters of an acre! (of the saddest, most-stunted, wind-blasted excuses for pine-trees you've ever seen in your life...)

The campaign will be played from the British side only I'm afraid.

MP missions will be mainly focused on Co-op although we'll probably throw a few dm, ctf missions in as well.

When were they planted? As far as I know the only trees around in 1982 where the couple outside of GH in Stanley as they don't grow naturally in the Falklands due to the arctic conditions there.

Ash,

Yep - it's Hill Cove Plantation, would you believe.... Rectangular, in the lee of the ridge to shelter it from the prevailing SW'ly winds. Never did get to speak to the landowner to find out why it was there. Certainly pre-dated 1982.

While on the subject of tree-less landscapes close to (UK) home, don't forget the Shetlands - about the only difference between them and the Falklands is that the latter have those almost-unique rock-runs.

Don't blame you for not including W Falkland - there has to be a limit somewhere. Pebble Island would've been nice for the airstrip raid, but can't have everything, eh?
