The ship names are absurd lmao. HMS Chiddingfold and HMS Bangor.

It's not a real country. They don't deserve to issue their own currency, the EU needs to invade immediately and force the Euro on them.

Right? Everything in the deck was stacked in favour of Argentina here but the UK successfully played it in a way that made them hesitate, fuck up their decisions, and ultimately lose. Call it hubris and luck or whatever but the UK executed a plan in a conflict it absolutely should not have won that worked very very well.

Scaring argentina into inaction and poor decisions is as much a part of winning the conflict as the material ships and men that were sent.
