I tend to like the V2 version better - as if a single battalion of reservists would cause the entire Argentine military to back down while the rest of the UKs forces are tied up for the foreseeable future against the Pact!
Seems exceedingly unlikely doesn't it?
At the very least Argentina would have landed a force on at least one island, probably one with something they needed as a stepping stone to take the rest of the islands such as port facilities or airport. The TA force themselves probably wouldn't have been the cause of their withdrawal, but the fear the UK would unleash some of their nukes on them back home on the mainland - timing could work given NATO started using them in July 1997....
