Arab-Israeli Wars*
*
Egyptian -- Israeli meeting engagement 11/56*
*
This scenario was inspired by Avalon Hill's boardgame, "The Arab-Israeli Wars" - "Situation B-1 -- Bir Gifgafa. November 2, 1956:  En route to the Suez Canal, the Israeli 7th Armored Brigade is intercepted by the Egyptian 1st Armored Brigade."  In the actual battle, the bulk of Egypt's forces in the Sinai withdrew across the Suez Canal rather than do battle with the advancing Israelis (primarily because British and French forces were striking at the canal itself).  This scenario pre-supposes that a strong force of Egyptian armor remained east of the canal to meet the Israelis.*

Note:  if played against the AI, the human player should play the Egyptian side.*
