Arab-Israeli Wars*

Jordan defend vs. Israel assault 6/67*
*
This scenario was inspired by Avalon Hill's boardgame, "The Arab-Israeli Wars" - "Situation S-5 - Jenin (Might-have been). June 6, 1967: At the star of the 1967 war the Jordanian army was deployed into a thin front line all along the border with Israel.  Front line battalions regularly covered frontages of up to 10 km - normally a large brigade frontage - so the Jordanian army had to rely heavily on its few reserve brigades to move up and reinforce any threatened parts of this front line.*
*
"During the war, however, the Israeli air force interdicted these reserves and prevented them from getting to the front.  The Jordanian units stretched along the border, such as the gallant but doomed 25th Brigade, were simply overwhelmed."*
*
This scenario demonstrates the difference these reserve brigades would have made by assuming that an Iraqi Tank Brigade is able to cross the Jordan River onto the West Bank.*
* 
Note:  if played against the AI, the human player should play as the Jordanian side.*
