I'm guessing it wasn't the way of the world for Falklands & isn't for other countries in theater... what sane system sends in troops with one arm tied behind their backs by artificially limiting already very limited air support. Barking doesnt even start to cover it.

Mind also still reeling at Des's claim that all elements of the original plan are behaving exactly as expected except the one element totally under brit control - the brit forces themselves. They're to blame for the need for re-enforcements by being too aggressive. No doubt their paychecks will be deducted accordingly.

Sure makes Flashman's pals look a whole lot smarter than they did last week.
