'73_1: Yom Kippur War (Limited Intervention, Combined Scenarios) - MC 01 Middle East '67

Yom Kippur, 1973: (Alternative B) Yom Kippur was a conflict that brought the United States and the Soviet Union closer to the brink of war than at any time since the Cuban missile crisis has begun. This hypothetical variation assumes that hostilities between the Soviet Union and United States superpowers have deteriorated to the point of limited intervention. The Soviets have commited two airborne divisions and some minor air support to the Arabs and the United States has commited moderate air support and supplies to Israelis.[Size large] *Designer's Notes: Intended for PBEM play but can be played as human vs AI. This scenario is a combined 73_1_Canal, 73_2_Golan1 and 73_4_Chinese Farm. Play area has been restricted to the areas available in the 73_1_Canal and 73_2_Golan1 scenarios. Scenario ends when 73_2_Golan1 ends. 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. *Important: The Egyptian's mobile SA-6 units will set up SAM sites along the far side of the canal when key areas are taken (East side of canal at Suez, Ismalia and Kantara) to allow the Egyptian player to extend the vital SAM umbrella.
