As 2nd Para prepared to attack Wireless Ridge on the night of June 13-14, Headquarters approved of a plan for a special forces raid on Cortley Hill. The idea was to try and convince the Argentine defenders that an amphibious landing was taking place that would pull troops away from the main attack to the west. However, there was very little in the way of support available for the SAS troopers with all of the artillery and naval gunfire being assigned to the attack on the Inner Defense Zone.
Three troops of SAS troopers, two from D Squadron and one G Squadron rendezvoused with assault boats from the SBS's 1st Raiding Squadron. Awaiting them on or near Cortley Hill were Argentine Marines as well as B Battery of the 101st AA Group. It was the classic SAS raid, daring troopers using stealth to overcome daunting odds. Unfortunately for the troopers, their boats were heard by an Argentine Special Forces trooper on the Almirante Irizar, an anchored ice breaker that was being used as a hospital ship by the Argentines. A searchlight stabbed out over the dark waters.
The British assault boats have been labeled as amphibious to allow the SAS troopers to load back on the boats and escape. They are not intended to be trucks, so please do not move them from land hex to land hex.
