'73_1: "Y" Day Onslaught (Limited Intervention) - MC 01 Middle East '67

The Sinai, October 6th 1973: (Alternative B) In the 1960's tensions between the superpowers mounted and relations strained. The Middle East had nearly brought the USSR and the United States to the brink of war on several different occasions. These alternative scenarios take on the hypothetical event that the USSR and the US had decided to intervene in a limited manner. This scn is the same as Scenario #73_1 with the exception being Arab assistance of a Soviet airborne division and Spetnaz commando force and Israeli assistance from the US is in the form of a Carrier Air Group in the Mediterranean Sea and several squadrons based in Turkey.[Size large] *Designer's Notes: Soviet mechanized infantry units have the same hard attack range as ATGM units to represent the ATGM equipped APCs that carry them. Soviet Spetsnaz commando units have increased hard and soft attack ranges to represent their hit and run ability as well as Mi-24 support. Large Egpytian Tank and Mechanized forces are present on the map as they were located there - but they have no effect early in the battle at this early stage. See the alternative variant of this scenario where these tanks are used.
