Description

Part of SPI's Modern Battles II: Four Contemporary Conflicts series,

This game is at the operational level with hexes measuring a mile across, simulates combat between the Israeli and Jordanian forces on the West Bank during 1967's Six Day War (starting June 5th through June 10th). A historical scenario is the main game, but there is also a non-historical scenario that supposes the Israeli Air Force and ground support was weaker than expected; plus a Jihad fantasy scenario that assumes that both sides are fully mobilized.

Playing time and format is straightforward. An interesting change to the historical result is quite possible.
