[E.Shore of Great Bitter Lake, Sinai Peninsula]: [SIDE B/H2H][HIS][CSL]: With the Israeli's creating a bridgehead across the canal across from Deservoir, the Egyptian high command ordered counterattacks to seal off the crossing. From the north, the 16th Infantry and 21st Armoured Divisions attacked the Israeli positions around the abandoned agricultural station (Chinese Farm) while from the south the 25th Independent Armour Brigade was advancing along the shores of Great Bitter Lake to partake in the engagement in a pincer move. Alerted to the massive dust cloud formed by the long column of vehicles, the Israeli Air Force confirmed the Egyptian presence. A number of Israeli tank battalions engaged the Egyptian column. [ALL: NOVV][NOTE: Only the Israeli tank battalions that were engaged are represented in the scenario.][1.00]

Only played once as Egyptian. If the Egyptian can blow through to the North, it's over. Not sure how Israel counters.

T-62's are no real match for M-48A5's. The scenario became a war of attrition with the Israelis having the upper hand with their superior armor.

We called this a draw as the Israel tanks were just too much and too many!

Arabs are out numbered and out gunned in this one. That may be historically accurate, but does not make for a good game.
