Chile vs Argentina
For Operation Soberania the Argentine armed forces planned to start the invasion with amphibious landings to seize the islands southwards of the Beagle Channel. The Disputed Islands of Picton, Lennox and Nueva as well as the Cape Horn Archipelago, which marks the northern boundary of the Drake Passage and would provide Argentina a foothold on the Pacific Ocean, denying Chile of a possible expansion to the Atlantic Ocean.
On the 22th of December, near midnight the Argentine and Chilean Navy were hours away from engaging each other in what would have been the biggest Naval Battle in the history of America. Frigates, Battleships, Troop Carriers, Aircraft Carriers, Submarines. All were present on the Area of Operations but luckily the Argentine Forces were called back and the war was avoided.
As mentioned in another post. This map will take place in a ficticious situation, where the war went ahead, the Argentine and Chilean Navies clashed and the beach landings proceeded. This is why this map will have a focus on Naval warfare and amphibious assaults, several types of ships including logistical ones.

Chile will start on Navarino Island to the west and Argentina will start on their fleet to the northeast. Both teams have to fight over Picton, Nueva and Lennox islands, establishing beach-heads and securing the entirety of an island before moving to the next one. Most of the terrain is composed of elevation, dense forests and the occasional settlement with plenty of sea where faster and better armed boats can harass logistics or provide ground support
Thanks for your support!
this map is being developed with the assets that already exist in mind, i have already coded variations of the naval vessels that are needed so they can be used by Chile and Argentina in any case.
but it was ascertained that these are heavily forested isles. All of this archipelago and area in Tierra del Fuego generally is. here you can see some of the pictures:
