1 November, 1956
[Rafah, Gaza Strip]: [SIDE A][HIS][CSL]: Rafah, and the Palestinian refugee camps south of Rafah, is strategically located at the crossroads of the El Arish - Gaza Highway. This highway was one of the few improved road networks that crossed the Sinai, making the crossroads at Rafah an essential piece of ground to defend. To do so, the Egyptians assigned the 5th Infantry Brigade, consisting of four infantry battalions, reinforcements from two Palestinian National Guard battalions, artillery, anti-tank weapons and anti-aircraft. The battalions were scattered among a number of mutually supporting fortified emplacements. The Israeli's assigned two brigades, the 1st Infantry and 27th Armoured, to assault the position. The assault began in the pre-dawn hours of November 1st, 1956, after a disastrous air attack and ineffective naval bombardment.
[ALL: NOVV][NOTE: Many of the Egyptian and Israeli formations start the scenario fixed and will be released during the course of the scenario. This is in an attempt to recreate the flow of the actual battle.][1.01]
