Briefing
West Bank 1967 Al Sandrik Asandrik@bellsouth.net Israel: IDF Forces: Blue on White ARABS: Jordanians: Black on Tan Egyptians: Red on Tan Iraqis: Blue on Tan Designed to be played by an IDF Human player against the AI. Playing as the Jordanian against the AI will produce an a-historical result. Human vs human could be done as long as the Arab player realizes they are ultimately doomed (of course the satisfaction of doing better than the actual Jordanian formations would be a Jordanian victory). This scenario was inspired and is somewhat based on the old SPI Modern Battles Jerusalem 67 game by Mark Herman. Changes have been made to the maps and order of Battle from that game, based on information which has been published since it's publication. Map changes are based on Tactical Pilotage Charts, and road maps of Israel. The map has been expanded to the south to include Hebron and Judea. Escarpments which would play a major part in the fighting have been added, as have Kibbutz settlements, Airfields, Fortifications, and Wadis. The order of battle has been amended based on Trevor Dupuy's "Elusive Victory"; Zeev Schiff's "A History of the Israeli Army (1870-1974); Chaim Herzog's, "The Arab Israeli Wars"; The Associated Press's, Lightning Out of Israel; A. J. Barker's. "The Arab-Israeli Wars"; Luttwak and Horowitz's, "The Israeli Army", Ulanoff and Eshel's, "The Fighting Israeli Air Force", Osprey's Publishing, "Arab Armies of the Middle East Wars 1948-73", "The Israeli Army in the Middle East Wars, 1948-73", and "Armor of the Middle East Wars, 1948-73"; Eshel's "Chariot's of the Desert". In May of 1967 the Arab world was brought to a fever pitch by speeches of Arab leaders and troop movements. Finally, event's reached a boiling point and Israel felt they must act. Initially, the IDF had no wish to fight Jordan but when Jordanian artillery shelled IDF airbases and cities and fighting broke out in Jerusalem the IDF went over to the offensive in the West Bank. Can you repeat Israeli's crushing defeat of Jordan? An IDF Airmobile Company is available to the IDF Player. Although airmobile operations were not conducted by the IDF in the West Bank, they were in the Golan, so the IDF had the capability. You might use them creatively. I am placing this scenario in the public domain. Any person wishing to modify, adjust, amend or post this scenario to another web site, for the enjoyment of others has my permission to do so. Most of all, have fun.
