Overview
A 2-player game covering the 1948 Arab-Israeli war. One player plays the Israeli forces and the other plays the Arab League forces. There is a hex map of Israel and surrounding countries. The units are mostly brigades - about 20 on the Israeli side and 30 on the Arab side.
There are 3 scenarios which correspond to the 3 main phases of the war:
Scenario 1 "Onslaught": Covers the invasion of the new state of Israel after the British withdrawal from 15th May 1948 to the first truce of 11th June 1948. Scenario 2 "Ten Days": Covers the Israeli counter-offensive from 9th to 18th July when there was the second truce. Scenario 3: "End Game": Covers the October 1948 fighting after the end of the second truce which concluded the war.
It is also possible to link 2 sequential, or all 3 scenarios into a larger campaign game of the whole war.
