Falkland

[Micha]

Yes the British did use white phosphorous grenades especially when close assaulting bunkers and other entrenchments. They have three purposes in Falklands. You can use them as smoke grenades to hide your movement from defensive fire, you can use them to prep a defensive position before assaulting (because they are single use weapons they do not cost movement points to "fire" although you the unit using them must have enough movement points to fire/assault) and because they are also an illumination round they allow units not adjacent to fire on the defenders during night scenarios (albeit at half firepower due to the smoke). I used them in the game partially because it was historical, but also because it helps simulate the urban tactics that the British troops used to take Argentine bunkers and fortifications.

As for leaders, their use is critical in Squad Battles. Falklands was designed to be played with the alternate fire density optional rule. If you use this rule, then leaders should be stacked with another unit and not left alone in a hex. If you don't use this rule, then leaders are safer from fire if they are alone, but not from assault. Keeping leaders alive is a key, so if you can, you would like to leave your leaders out of the line of fire and retreat pinned/demoralized units to them to recover. However, this can be hard to do, especially in Falklands where there is no cover other than night. And while assaulting with a leader and a squad is risky, you may need the leaders morale bonus to carry a position. Fortunately, the British usually have two leaders per platoon, so you can have one up leading the charge and the other lagging behind a bit, rallying the less brave. The Argentinians have no such luxury except for their special forces. Trying to attack with the Argentinians can be very frustrating.

Hope this helps some, feel free to ask more questions if you have them.

Thank you for this good tips, i think it will help.
