Hey guys im just starting this PBEM against my opponent Steve its a hypothetical scenario which depicts the Israeli's me entering the west bank to establish Israeli control and the Arab nations of Syria,Jordan,Lebanon and the Palestinians attempts to prevent this and throw the Israeli's out of the west bank for good,Its 60 turns each turn is 6 hours so 15 days,5km a hex my Israelis will move first i intend to stay on the defensive in the Golan and move swiftly into the west bank before the Jordanians can react.
Below is the starting map setup showing positions at morning on the 15th December 2001

Turn 2 Afternoon 15th December

The Northern sector is on alert as Syrian Special forces land in the Golan most of my units are reorganizing but two battalions of elite paras have being transported by chopper to the area to counter the enemy incursion.

Turn 2 Afternoon 15th December

Central Command is still pushing units on into the west bank with some elements now 35KM into the warzone,The Jordanians havent yet crossed the river jordan but im sure that in the next few turns they will be across in large numbers.IDF missile batteries attack Jordanian airbases causing heavy damage while Israeli tanks and mechanized forces are engageing Palestinian army and guerilla forces.

IDF Turn 7 PM Day two Northern Command

The Syrians have being attacking hard in the Golan but ive managed to patch a defence together and
some reserves are on there way to the battle front,My artilery has been hitting the Syrians hard who after capturing the northern part of the Golan seem unable to break through my line.

IDF Turn 7 PM Day Two Central Command

The Jordanian army has crossed the river to support the Palestinians but have suffered badly at the hands of the profesional Israeli Tank and Mechanized units,IDF units are heading east and will cross the river in the next day or two,several Jordanian units have been destroyed.

Israeli Turn 12 PM Day Three

Northern Command units continue to hold in the Golan and take a heavy toll on Syrian forces,Central Command units are crossing into Jordan and have destroyed large numbers of the Jordanian army,I expect my forces to swing north and press the Syrian's and what remains of the Jordanian army.

Israeli Turn 14 Day 4

My opponent and i have decided to end this scenario as there is only going to be one outcome an Israeli victory,The Syrians have hit a brick wall in the Golan and have exhausted themselves and are no longer an offensive force the Jordanians are beaten ansd there capital city is ready to fall,Most of the IAF was destroyed in the early turns but my Israeli artillery took a heavy toll on the Arab forces which enabled me to hold the Syrians in the Golan with just enough forces while i sent all other IDF bde's to the Jordanian front and overpower them.
Thanks to my opponent for the game and looking forward to our next PBEM Nghia Lo 1951.
