About the game
Clear the radar and steady your helm, because things are heating up in the South Atlantic! In Where There Is Discord: War in the South Atlantic, you take command of the British Task Force during the intense and decisive days of 1982. The setting is the Falklands/Malvinas War, and your objective is clear: defend the fleet from Argentine attacks and secure a successful amphibious landing on the islands. But don't think it's just about firing missiles; this is a deep simulation that requires you to balance military command with political pressure from London and public opinion. You'll need to manage scarce resources, like the Sea Harriers, and deal with a series of realistic challenges: submarine warfare, the constant threat of Exocet missiles, supply logistics, and even the unpredictable ocean weather. The simulation is so detailed that you'll have to coordinate weapon systems, intelligence, and even deal with political orders that could shift the entire campaign's course. It's a pure strategy game where every combat decision or naval movement could mean total victory or disaster. If you enjoy historical wargames that don't pull any punches and demand meticulous planning to survive aerial and naval assaults, this is for you. It's a high-tension challenge for those wanting to relive one of the most tense moments of modern history in an immersive solo experience.
