'73_1: Yom Kippur War (Comb. Scenarios, Early Arab Mech release) - MC 01 Middle East '67

Yom Kippur, 1973: (Alternative A) Arab shells begin falling on Israeli positions in the Golan Heights and along the Bar-Lev defensive line in western Sinai. Chanting "Allahu Akbar" (God is Great), Egyptian commandos swarm across the Suez Canal. Syrian paratroopers arriving by helicopter attack Mount Hermon as hundreds of tanks advance into what will become known as "the valley of tears." Israel, surprised on one of the holiest days of the Jewish calendar, finds itself fighting for its life. This scn is the same as scenario #73_001_Campaign with the exception being the Egyptian Reserves are released at Midnight of the second day.[Size large] *Designer's Notes: Intended for PBEM play but can be played as human Arab vs AI Israeli. This scenario is a combined 73_1_Canal, 73_2_Golan1 and 73_4_Chinese Farm. Play area has been restricted to the areas available in the 73_1_Canal and 73_2_Golan1 scenarios. Scenario ends when 73_2_Golan1 ends. *Important: The Egyptian's mobile SA-6 units will set up SAM sites along the far side of the canal when key areas are taken (East side of canal at Suez, Ismalia and Kantara) to allow the Egyptian player to extend the vital SAM umbrella.
