- Scramble, Surveillance and early Warning

-Scramble roll: 1d10 : if modified roll is equal or greater than Air Alert Assessment number
on card, then the Argentine stand down. Otherwise they attack.
-Airbase Tasking roll: Determine the airbase that will launch the raid with 1d10.
-Sortie Marker placement
-Surveillance: If Nimrod available, roll 1d6.
1-2: Raid is detected. Scramble Harriers after Squadron Attack roll and
Argentine Air Targeting roll.
3-6 not detected by Nimrod, but if SAS at the right base:scramble Harriers
after Squadron Attack roll but before Air Targeting roll.
3-6: not detected by Nimrod, and SAS not at the right base: If International
Opinion at 9or10, scramble Harriers before Squadron Attack roll and
Air Targeting roll (without any information). If International Opinion
below 9, then no Harrier Scramble!
Squadron attack roll: If raid not from Rio Grande, roll 1d10:

Air Targeting roll: 2d6 determine the target zone (place the Air alert marker there). If
10 and no vessel in there, reroll.
If target zone empty and not 10, place Handbreak marker in Task
Force zone. If Air alert Handbreak, then no surface to Air Combat
this Turn.
If British units in San Carlos, roll 1d6 black + 1d6 white.
If black white, San Carlos is the target, otherwise the Task force.
If 2 or 12 are rolled target the Task Force.
Exocet always attacks Task Force.

-British Attack: Each Harrier now rolls one die, also using the table above ( i.e. if Canberras
attacks, the British use a d4). If International Opinion 3 or more,
each Harier rolls 2 dice. Flight Leader always use 2 dice.
Each die that matches a Target Lock marker destroys all the
appropriate planes (flip them).
If Harriers are from the same flight, the destroyed planes are
removed and placed on their base.
-Argentine Target Lock: Roll 1d12 for each Harrier and place the appropriate Target Lock
Marker.
-Argentine Attack: Dagger/Mirage on Combat display (also flipped) roll 1d12.
Each die that matches a Target Lock marker destroys all the
appropriate Harriers
Surviving Harriers go to Flown, surviving Argentines proceed attack.

-Surface to Air combat round:

- Radar lock: Choose a vessel in the target zone. Roll 1d10. If equal or lower than Radar
Lock number, then the enemy is detected and every vessel in the zone can
fire.

-Target lock: Choose one or more vessels to fire. Each vessel can only fire once per raid.
Roll a die for each attacking aircraft depending wich ship fires. If different die
types would be appropriate, take only the lowest one. Place the appropriate
Target lock marker with the aircraft.

-British Attack: Each vessel now rolls one die, also using the table above (not the lowest
value like at Target lock). Each die that matches a Target lock
destroys these aircraft.
If any attackers left, change range marker and start next combat round, or go to Air to surface combat
if Range is 1 mile.

-Air to Surface Combat

Randomly determine the target (cup). If no other target left, all remaining Argentine aircraft
will attack this vessel. Otherwise only one aircraft will attack. Roll a die:

A result of 1 destroys the vessel. Check p. 34 for impact of losses. After the attack, aircraft go
back to base. If other aircraft left, do another attack.
-Exocet Attack if raid from Rio Grande:
If one tendard was destroyed in the 30 miles range, roll 1d6.
1-2: Exocet carrier was destroyed, end the raid.
If the carrier survived during the 30 mile range, place the aircraft base in the base and place
the Exocet marker instead in the 30 mile zone. Do a radar lock roll with a vessel in the target
zone, but the Radar Lock number of the vessels is modified by -2.
Decrease the Exocets Range Marker, until it is detected or closer than 1 mile. Randomly
determine a target. Roll 1d6.

empty place it in the nearest occupied box. If equal, lower number. If no vessels, then attack
closest ground units.

If a vessel is hit, it is destroyed. (check p. 34 for impact).
If a ground unit is hit, it is flipped. If it is already flipped, it is
destroyed.

-San Carlos Landing: Place ground troops from transports to the adjacent landing zone (p.25).
A unit can be landed in a zone occupied by Argentine., but not in a zone
containing a British unit. Its a disadvantage if its not in its designated zone.
If the units troop ship is adjacent to a Landing Craft, it is landed at full
strength, otherwise flip it to reduced strength.
-Argentine San Carlos Deployment from 21 May:
Place Argentine units in a cup. Draw 2 randomly and place them on the zone
determined by 1d10.
If space occupied by a british unit: counterattack. Place Argentine unit
underneath.
If space occupied by Argentine unitplace it in the nearest empty zone. If two
empty zones are equal distance, take the higher. If no empty zone,
then nearest British, if two equal distance, take the higher.

-San Carlos Ground Combat preparation:

Place an Opposed Landing/ Counterattack marker in the Landing zone.

Place the units in the combat box.
-If Opposed Landing, place Dug In marker in the Argentine combat display.
-If asterisk on any unit, place an appropriate Elite marker on the appropriate
combat display
-If British in wrong Landing Zone, place the Wrong Landing Zone Marker in
the Argentine combat display.
-If Warships (not Landing Craft) opposite to the Landing Zone, place the
Naval Gunfire Support Marker on the British combat display.
-If no Harriers in CAP box, place Ground Attack Marker on the Argentine
combat display.
-Retreat Supply Marker one space. If not on board, flip Argentine unit to
reduced.
-Ground Combat: Roll the die indicated on the unit. Highest result wins. If tie, British win in
the counterattack, Argentine win the Opposed Landing.
Loser removes a marker from its combat display (i.e. Dug In / Naval Gunfire
Support).
If no maker left, rotate counter 90 counter-clockwise. If once completely
rotated, the unit is destroyed. Remove it from the game.
The winner goes back to Landing Box, keeping its condition from the fight.

End of turn
- If any Argentine submarine is destroyed this turn, all Argentine Task Groups go off board
and all remaining Argentine subs go to Ready for War.
