[Ar Rafid, Golan Heights]: [Side B/HTH][FIC][GD], August 17th, 1985, 14:00-20:00. "Duel for the Golan 85-Rafid" Optimized for play as Side "B" the Syrians. After the 1973 Ramadan War the Syrian General Staff looked at their war plan and came to the conclusion that it almost worked and most of it was sound. What was lacking was both an adequate balance of forces and sealing off the Golan Heights from the inevitable IDF reinforcements. With the addition of two new armored divisions to the Syrian Order of Battle and improved heliborne Special Operations Forces the Syrian felt they could defeat the IDF, especially on the southern Golan. As the new plan was fleshed out the Syrian 1st Corps would attack in the south with the 5th and 7th Mechanized Divisions attacking the IDF 188th "Barak" Armored Brigade and elements of the 1st "Golani" Brigade. After sunset they would pass the GHQ's 4th "Assad" Armored Division through the breakthrough and toward the Arik Bridge. The IDF was not caught napping and had mobilized the 162nd and 252nd Udgah (Divisions). The 162nd was held in northern Galilee covering the south Lebanon border area until the 91st Territorial Udga could be mobilized and take up defensive positions near the border. That said, as 91st units arrive in position some of the 162nd's units might be released during the scenario time frame. The 252nd Udga, on the other hand, was available for immediate reinforcement on the El Al Axis of the southern front. Could the Syrians break in before IDF reinforcements made their presence felt? [All]
[SPECIAL DESIGNER NOTES - Not for the faint of heart! This is one of the largest and longest scenarios, and a good candidate for team play (especially as the Syrians). Do not use the variable visibility optional rule. Move west of the Jordan River with extreme caution and only after armored/mechanized units have reached the river! it is intended that you use your SOF/Commandos to seize Jordan River bridges and disrupt interior areas, but it could pay to be innovative. Just remember there is a small, but substantial, chance units of the 162nd Udga might be released early and reinforce from Galilee! Elements of the 252nd will begin to arrive about turn 20 with variable reinforcement rates ranging from 10-80 percent. My E-mail is [email protected]][Version 1.01]
