I for one can't wait for the game to come out, demo is promised soon. Now how cool is that, there are waaaay to little demos theese days...

I agree playing both sides sounds better, not for the previously said reasons, but simply for variety, I personally never could understand the one side only complex.I mean OK, so I understand Brits might have a problem on Flaklands due to recent nature of that conflict, but whenever somebody throws up sillyness like that in WW2 context, especially those born 20+ years after it I can only picture them as primitive and shortsighted hillbillies.


BTW: Strictly for geographical facts:
distance Arg-Malvinas=~320miles
distance GBr-Falklands=~7620miles!!!

Personally I don't see what was it worth in strategical and economical sense to mobilize nearly entire army for a few square miles of grass and a couple of sheeps 7600 miles away from your own border. Maybe it was "Hey we want to retain the image of powerfull country regardless the cost, either material or in human lives". The vanity strikes again...

But ofcourse when Russia cleans up mess on it's own border then they are called the bad guys - now that's really weak.
