This Soviet-made bridge allowed the Egyptians to shorten the erection time of bridges by a few hours and to repair damaged bridges more rapidly by simple unit replacement. The use of the BMP bridge caught the Israelis and many Western armies by surprise.

Thanks for the info. Good to see you again at Origins. Rob and I will take any info you can find as we are needing to jump into code and have little time to dig out TOE and OOB for this region over the past 5 decades.

Thanks.


FlipTrac,

Info for the new game. With any luck they will get you guys in the beta area soon so you folks can start to test things.

Thanks.
