Play as Argentine or PBEM

Mount Kent was an imposing feature that allowed visibility all the way to Port Stanley. A company of the Argentine 12th Infantry Regiment had initially been laagered on the mountain, but these troops had been helicoptered to Goose Green to take part in the action there. This left the hill undefended, which was duly reported by the SAS team that infiltrated the position. As Brigadier Thompson realized the importance of the position, more SAS troopers from Boat Squadron were moved in until additional troops could be moved forward. The weather failed to cooperate, however, and the first attempts to reinforce the troopers with K Company of the 42nd Marines were cancelled.

Meanwhile the Argentine command on the island elected to use their Special Forces troops to try and disrupt the British supply lines running San Carlos Water to near Estancia House. Portions of 602 Commando Company were tasked with securing Mount Simon, near Top Malo House, as an observation post. The rest of the company was to secure Mount Kent. The Argentine commandos were flown out in the early morning hours of May 30, 1982.
