Gold - The Falklands War: 1982

Shrapnel Games announces that The Falklands War: 1982 is gold. The wargame based on the brief conflict between Britain and Argentina is available for pre-order, with shipments expected on June 24, 2005. In the meantime, there's a recently released two-scenario demo with a sample of the game. Here is how the project is described:

The Falklands War: 1982 is the first computer wargame (and one of the first wargames in general, whether computer or board) to truly examine all the facets of the conflict and wrap it in a shell that provides gamers with an in-depth look at the how and why of the battles that raged over a chain of islands with nearly 700,000 sheep and only 1,800 human inhabitants. While the conflict is still quite fresh in the minds of the English and the Argentineans, for the rest of the world it was a vaguely remembered sideshow during the Cold War era. Designed by Gary Bezant, a veteran artillery officer in the British Army with an extensive repository of British military lore, it is hoped that as wargamers delve into The Falklands War: 1982 they will walk away with a deeper understanding of the events in the South Atlantic over two decades ago.
