*
Salaam my friend. Our day of revenge is approaching soon. Organize and train your force for the fighting soon to come.*
*
In most engagements your task force will be part of a brigade-sized unit. The battles will be large and desperate. Time is of utmost importance. We must strike hard and fast, and keep the Israelis off-balance. At least in the beginning, our SAM "umbrella" will keep the IAF off our backs.*
*
Once the fighting starts, you will have no choice about what reinforcements you want. All reinforcements have been supplied to you from higher HQ.*
*
For now, reorganize and plan. Capture the objective in the center of the base when you are ready to begin.*
*
Suggestion: Purchase at least a full company of T-62s, the best tank in the Egyptian arsenal, for your core. Add additional tanks, infantry, and artillery as desired. Depending on the losses you suffer, you may not be able to expand your core force later.*
