Hot Knife through Butter - Campaign Series: Middle East 1948 -1985

[Rachaiya, Lebanon]: [H2H][HIS][CSL]: A few days into Operation Peace for Galilee, the Israeli operation to rid the Palestinian Liberation Organization from the northern border, the right flank of the Israeli drive had advanced into the southern Beka'a Valley. The 252nd Ugda advanced along the western side of the valley while the Special Maneuver Force continued north towards the Damascus-Beirut highway. In the process the Special Maneuver Force cut off communications of the Syrian 10th Armoured Division, now surrounded in the hills south of Lake Karoun. The Syrian High Command decided to send the 1st Armoured Division into the fray to help open a corridor to save the beleaguered Division from destruction. Leading the way were T-72 tanks of the Syrian 1st Armoured Brigade. [ALL][NONE][1.00]
