Arab - Israeli Wars - Jobu88 - 03-21-2009 Fellas -- One of my favorite board games while growing up was Avalon Hill's old Arab-Israeli Wars. I had the opportunity to go through the Suez Canal recently and I noticed that the Egyptians maintain military pontoon bridges pre-positioned for rapid use along most of the canal. I would say about every two miles or so I saw one of these sites, with each piece mounted on a ramp so they could be put in the water and then assembled quickly. No deep thoughts or anything, I just found it interesting. RE: Arab - Israeli Wars - Steel God - 03-21-2009 It's a different reality in SW Asia. Anyone who has never been can't quite wrap his head around it from the comfort of "the west". RE: Arab - Israeli Wars - Lowlander - 03-21-2009 Was In Egypt just prior to Christmas and travelling from Alexandria to Cairo I noticed this radar site in the distance, to the right of centre you can just make out a truck with the antenne deployed and another one right of that. Passed several Army camps or barracks on this main road.
