[b]River Crossing, 1967[/b]
The Egyptian army tries to force its way across a river.
The IDF are deployed to defend this settlement:
In the centre the heavy T-10 tanks of the Egyptian army head towards the visible bridge under cover of smoke, they are slow moving and do not get that far.
A PT-76 reece tank is spotted in the river and shot to bits by an M-48:
However over on the left flank, something amazing is happening, a mixed force of armor escorting a bridge laying tank, manages to reach the river and deploy its bridge, and for added cheek, puts some of its forces over the river!
A double one would allow the T-55s to do some shooting and for the rest of the force to get over the river:
The T-55s promptly nail an M-48! That was after 110cm of movement! Good work by the CO!
In the centre the IDF manage to spot a truck loaded with infantry and blow it pieces, while three Arab tanks combine to kill one M-48m there is a lot of shooting but it proves to be mostly ineffective
.
As the Arab smoke screen clears the IDF seem to find their shooting boots and things start to swing against the Arabs, the a bombing run by their plane takes out a truck full of infantry, a lone M-48 takes out another truck full of infantry and a T-38, and their mortars suddenly find their range and nail another truck and three stands of infantry!
The Arab T-10s blunder and withdraw. While on the left flank the combined armor of T-55s and T-34s nail three M-48s.
The left hook of the Arab advance is beginning to get into the IDF rear, a PT-76 and a T-55 combine to take out one of the Israeli mortar teams, while an M-48 catches a T-34 in the open.
The rampaging PT-76 manages to claim another victim by turning its cannon into the rear of an M-48! In the centre the T-10s advance across the bridge they take heavy fire from the last of the M-48s, but return fire it’s one a piece!
Suddenly an AMBUSH team of IDF troops attacks the T-10 column they do heavy damage to the T-10s without actually killing any, the return fire wipes a recoilless rifle jeep! The Israeli plane reappears and bombs the area, the blue on blue fire manages not to kill any of their own but destroys a T-10, the Arab mortars finally manage to do something and KO one of the ambushing sections.
In a surprise move, the IDF fail their break test and flee into the night!
