Te Jet Age Air forces across the Middle East had been supplied withnew jet ghters by 1967. From older MiG-15s to newerMirage III and MiG-21 ghters, air power was an integralpart of warfare in the Six Day War. Most armored vehicle ofthe time were still equipped with anti aircraft machine guns,

but the fast ying jets were difcult to hit.

Sel De ense Anti Aircraf weapons add +1 tothe roll needed to hit when ring at aircraf.

Chance Meeting in the Dark During the Six Day War, Israeli and Arab forces occasionallyfound themselves engaged in confusing night battles. Thisoften was the result of the rapid advance of Israeli tankunits in the Sinai, s they stumbled across Egyptian forcesor Egyptian armored forces moving to counterattack ran

into these Israeli spearheads. On occasion Israeli forcesused night attacks to take fortied Egyptian positions, suchas Abu Ageila.

I both players agree, then roll a die when playing a mission with the Mobile Battle rule,a roll o 5+ means the game is a night battle.he game begins at night and uses the DawnBreaks rule.
