Title: The Battle for Goose Green (part 2)*
2 PARA Assault vs. RI 12 (+) Defense*

Location: Goose Green Isthmus *
*
Commander,*
Thanks to your gallant command we now control the high grounds and have a good fire base to assault the airstrip and re-take Goose Green.*
Your orders are to attack the next objectives with C and D Company immediately. B Coy will circle east to cut off the settlement.**
It seems that remnants of enemy units falling back from Darwin Hill have entered Darwin. Be sure to clear the settlement of those broken Argentinean troops before moving forward to Goose Green.*
In addition to ground and naval artillery support, RAF’s Harriers from HMS “Hermes” will be available later in the day.*
**
Designer Note: B Coy will appear as reinforcements below and behind the air-base.*
**
Historical Background:*
*
Major C. Keeble, who took command after Lt Col. H Jones death, designed his battle plan to keep A Coy in Darwin as reserve while attacking with B, C, and D Coy.*
C/2 Para lead the attack against Goose Green and the Air Base, followed by D/2 Para.*
Meanwhile, B/2 Para circled the settlement to cut off any Argentinean retreat.**
