Egypt vs Israel, 1948-49 - 6/25/2007 7:23:43 PM

I liked this game series a lot and I'll be buying the Matrix edition soon no matter what.

I was wondering how to simulate the battles between Egypt and Israel in 1948-49. The basic problem is that both sides used predominantly WWII Allied style equipment. The Israelis had some Me109s and Hotchkiss tanks, but mostly everybody had Bren gun carriers and M3 Halftracks and 3 inch mortars and 25 pdrs and so on. Is there any way for sides to be defined with roughly identical weapons?

I was thinking that if worse came to worst, I could have the Egyptians be the Allies and the Israelis, be Axis forces using, lots of Italian or Vichy weapons.

I had that but gave it away. I thought that trying to do some 1948-49 scenarios in the new edition might be fun, especially if you could assign the same equipment (for example 3 inch mortars) to each side.
