6 October, 1973
[Rafid Gap, Golan Heights]: [H2H/SIDE B] [HIS] [GD]:
At 1400 hours, the Syrians started their attack on the Israeli positions in the Golan Heights.
One area that the Syrians paid particular attention to was the Rafid Gap area. It was defended by elements of the Israeli 188th (Barak) Armored Brigade. The 188th was one of the two brigades defending the Golan Height at the start of the war, and since it defended a larger portion of the line, it was spread out pretty thin.
Despite this, the 188th managed to stop the initial Syrian attack on Rafid at the anti-tank ditch. However, it was at a high cost, and that night a second Syrian attack managed to cross the line and push the Israelis back several miles.

Objectives are undervalued. By the time the Syrians reach them, they're too banged up to change the inevitable result.
Resolve then, that on this very ground, with small flags waving and tinny blasts on tiny trumpets, we shall meet the enemy, and not only may he be ours, he may be us. --Walt Kelly
This scenario needs much work..vhexes are extremely low in point value, no smoke to cover crossing, a couple of bridge layers that the Israeli tanks can perch on a hill and blow away....this really does however have the makings of a good scenario - but as is - it is unplayable!
