Status: offline 		In 1967, the Israeli Defense Forces scored a decisive victory against the combinded forces of Egypt, Syria and Jordan. Israel controlled the strategic Suez Canal and the desert wastes of the Sinai. The Arab world vowed revenge.


The Preparations: Six years later, the forces of Egypt and Syria attacked the Zionist State again. This time, the Egyptians worked out a careful plan to cross the canal and backed up the plan with better prepared, trained, and equipped troops. This set the state for the October war.


Surprise: On October 6, 1973 Egyptian troops forced the canal crossing against surprised Israeli units and clobbered the Israeli first line of Defenses, the Bar Lev fortifications. Success followed success as the tank heavy Israeli army came to grips with another surprise, SAGGER anti tank missiles.

Followup: Content with their positions, the Egyptian commanders practiced a war of attrition until calls for help from their Syrian allies led them to make fool hardy attacks and leave their air defense umbrella. The Israeli's seized the opportunity to affect their own canal crossing and made a lodgement on the Egyptian side of the canal.

Status: offline 		I've added SA-2 AA bltn's with 500 infantry for defense. They are causing major headache's for the IAF (Israeli Air Force). The Israeli's have lost over 300 planes in just the first few turns from air battles and these SA-2's. now the IAF doesn't attack the forces near the Canal. Also if the Egyptians infantry divisions move out of the Bar-Lev fortifications, they get mauled rather badly, just like the real war.

In the real war though the Israeli's did not lose 300 planes while the Arab forces lost more than 400
