Arab - Israeli Wars

[Jobu88]

Fellas --

One of my favorite board games while growing up was Avalon Hill's old Arab-Israeli Wars. I had the opportunity to go through the Suez Canal recently and I noticed that the Egyptians maintain military pontoon bridges pre-positioned for rapid use along most of the canal. I would say about every two miles or so I saw one of these sites, with each piece mounted on a ramp so they could be put in the water and then assembled quickly.

No deep thoughts or anything, I just found it interesting.

It's a different reality in SW Asia. Anyone who has never been can't quite wrap his head around it from the comfort of "the west".

Was In Egypt just prior to Christmas and travelling from Alexandria to Cairo I noticed this radar site in the distance, to the right of centre you can just make out a truck with the antenne deployed and another one right of that.
Passed several Army camps or barracks on this main road.
