Campaign Series: Middle East Narrative AAR Suez 01

[bootlegger267]

This is a Narrative Replay of the Suez 01 Scenario. Prior to the 3.0/03 update, this scenario was called "Heading to the Front" which I AAR'd 7 years ago...lol

Oct 7th, 1973....Baluza
Ltc Tamir's 198th Tank Bn was the forward deployed unit Of Col Reshef's Bde in the Northern Sinai. The reports from the 4 Bar-Lev forts in his sector were dire. His mission was to reach the middle two (Lahtzanit and Drora) and determine the extentof the Egyptian attack. Were these just raids or??? There were some reports of enemy Commando's operating along the only road through the Swamps/Lagoon that separated the northern most fort (Orkal) from the rest.

(Unlike historically, where Tamir sent his tanks forward in groups of 2-3, in which most were ambushed and destroyed, I'll be going with his entire Bn along with his attached Mech Inf Co.)

As he approached Rumani, Tamir ordered his Inf to dismount and clear the town. Two Tank Co's swung to the south and began to advance on the Airfield when they came under fire....1 Plt pulled back. Nobody could tell where the fires came from...

Excellent recreation of that portion of the conflict. Not sure if it's available somewhere for download as single player or hotseat, but either way, much appreciated!
