[SP/COOP 1-7] "West Falkland, 1982"

In April 1982, in the first moments of the Argentine occupation of the Falkland Islands, the lack of a response protocol by the British Armed Forces became evident, and the preparations for the counter-invasion were complicated due to the remoteness of the islands. However, in the same month, the first British ground troops arrived on the islands, beginning operations on April 21.

Despite the fact that the Argentine Air Forces were a real challenge for British aviation, Britain's military superiority quickly became evident, with the regular employment of special forces (SAS and SBS) and Marines for operations of all kinds against the Argentine forces, which would give the final victory to the United Kingdom in June 1982, with the surrender of the last Argentine soldiers.

The Argentine Army has deployed several 105mm artillery pieces covering the northern entrance to West Falkland. Because the intention is to land troops on the island to recover it from Argentine hands, it is necessary to eliminate the threat of enemy artillery near the coast.

For this reason, a section of the 22 SAS Regiment will infiltrate the territory controlled by the Argentine Army, using a fishing vessel with German flag, the MV Karlsruhe, to introduce our men with zodiacs into the area of operations without being discovered, taking advantage of the morning fog. There, they will try to search for and destroy the artillery positions and the command post that coordinates them.

Features:

• The mission displays realistic distances for a recon/search and destroy operation: this means that from objective to objective, the distance can be kilometres.
  
• Realistic gear, thanks to the Spearpoint UK Armed Forces Mod.
  
• Enemy patrols all around the area of operations.
