MOTIVATION AND SKILL
Surrounded by hostile Arab states, Israel faced grave threats to its survival. With enemy
troops just hours away from the capital of Tel Aviv, the Israeli Defence Force needed to
be constantly ready to ght. Te Israelis trained their tank crews hard, knowing that they
were outnumbered. A Plugah Tankim (Tank Company) is rated Condent Veteran.

HEADQUARTERS
PLUGAH TANKIM HQ
Te heart of the Armoured Corps are its tank companies,
called Plugah Tankim (pronounced p-loo-gah tahn-keem)
in Hebrew. Te infantry had been the stars of the First
Arab-Israeli War in 1948, and were expected to be the
same in 1956. However, the armoured forces outstand-
ing successes pushed them to the forefront of the ground
forces for the war in 1967.

MOTIVATION SKILL
While most Israeli tankers were reservists called up just
two weeks before the war, the elite 7
th
Saar (Storm)
Armoured Brigade and the Armoured School Battalion
had full-time regular force ocers and the current crop
of trainees. As the best-prepared units, the regulars led the
oensive across the Sinai.
SOUTHERN COMMAND THE SINAI
Te Southern Command facing Egypt had most of Israels
armoured brigades, including several equipped with the
latest Shot (Scourge, pronounced shot), a Centurion
upgunned with a 105mm gun, and Magach 2 (Battering
Ram, pronounced mah-gakh) M48 Patton tanks. Te 46
th

Tank Battalion even elded a company of Magach 3 tanks
re-armed with 105mm guns.
Te remaining reservist brigades of Southern Command had
more Shot and Magach 2 tanks along with upgunned M51
Isherman tanks armed with a lightweight French 105mm
gun, and even some French AMX-13 light tanks.

CENTRAL COMMAND THE WEST BANK

Te Central Command facing Jordan was mainly equipped
with second-line tanks: modernised M51 and M50 Sherman
tanks, modern AMX light tanks, and even old M1 Super
Sherman tanks. Tese were supported by a battalion of the
latest Shot tanks in the northern part of the West Bank, and
a company of twelve Centurion tanks still armed with the
old 20-pounder gun (the only ones left still awaiting their
new 105mm guns) supported the Harel (Mountain of God
referring to Mount Zion in Jerusalem) Mechanised Brigade
that opened the route to Jerusalem.
Despite their older equipment, the reservist brigades of
Central Command managed to defeat the Jordanians
modern Patton and Centurion tanks in open battle, but the
cost was high. Two Jordanian armoured brigades destroyed
more Israeli tanks than the entire Egyptian army ghting
Southern Command in the Sinai.
Israel had no doubts that the most dangerous foe was the
huge United Arab Republic army in the Sinai, but consid-
ered the much smaller, but better trained, Jordanian Army
facing Central Command to be another major threat.
When Jordan attacked, Israel answered with a swift
attack on two main axes. Te 10
th
Harel (Mount Zion)
Mechanised Brigade, equipped with M1 Sherman tanks
(along with twelve 20 pdr-armed Centurions added to the

th
and 45
th
Barak (Lightning) Armoured Brigades,

OPTION
Arm any or all M3 D (120mm) half-tracks with a hull-
mounted or AA MG for +5 points per half-track.
MORTAR PLATOON
Soltam Systems developed its M65 120mm mortar from
a Finnish Tampella design. Mounted in a half-track, this
weapon system combined mobility, armour, and the ability
to deliver artillery bombardments quickly and accurately.
ISRAELI TANKS
AUTOLOADER
Te French AMX-13 had an automatic loader allowing the
gunner to re twelve shots before reloading the gun (a process
requiring the crew to dismount and taking 15 minutes or
more). It wasnt as quick-ring as a crew member loading the
gun, but it did allow a very small tank to mount a powerful
gun in a small, light turret.
AMX tanks do not suer any penalty To Hit while moving
and may re-roll failed rolls To Hit if they did not move in
the Movement Step.
SKIRTS
Te British-supplied Centurion tanks were tted with
bazooka skirts or bazooka plates and turret stowage bins
to protect them from bazooka-armed tank hunters.
If a tank protected by Skirts fails an Armour Save against a
weapon with a Firepower rating of 5+ or 6 hitting its Side
armour, roll a special 4+ Skirts Save:
If the save is successful, the Skirts protect the tank from
the hit, which has no eect.
If the save is not successful, the shot penetrates the side
armour as normal.
STABILISERS
A stabiliser is a device tted to the tanks gun that keeps it
level so the gunner can stay on target while the tank moves.
A moving tank ring a gun tted with a Stabiliser shoots
at its full ROF.
If the gun has ROF 2 or more, it adds a penalty of +1
to the score To Hit.
If the gun has ROF 1, it ignores the normal +1 penalty
To Hit when moving.
Before shooting, a tank can choose not to use its Stabiliser.
SEARCHLIGHTS
Some tanks were tted with searchlights for night ghting.
Unfortunately, these gave their position away when used.
A platoon with a Searchlight rolls two dice and takes the
best result when rolling on the Night Visibility Table (see
page 272 of the rulebook). Other platoons shooting at the
platoon being shot at shoot as if they had rolled a 6 on the
Night Visibility Table.
Teams using Searchlights can be seen at any distance as if they
shot in their Shooting Step, and do not count as Concealed by
either night or terrain when shot at.
GUNNERY FIRST
After demonstrating abysmal gunnery against the Syrians
during the opening stages of the Water War, the Israelis
revised their gunnery training. Unlike most armies who
picked the best recruits as the tank commanders, the Israelis
picked their best as the gunners.
An Armoured Tank team that did not move in the Movement
Step may re-roll failed rolls To Hit when shooting their main
guns at platoons with all teams more than 16/40cm away.
Tanks with Autoloaders do not benet from this rule.

CHIR MAMOCHAN
(MOTORISED) PLATOON
Te motorised infantry, called Chir Mamochan (pro-
nounced kh-eer mah-moh-khahn) in Hebrew, accom-
panied the tanks into battle, clearing built-up areas
and fortied positions. Teir main weapons were the
Belgian FN FAL rie (used both as a rie and, in its
heavy-barrelled form, as a squad automatic weapon) and
the FN MAG machine-gun. Each platoon had a British
52mm (2) light mortar, a number of Belgian RL-83
Blindicide (Armour Killer) bazookas, and plenty of
powerful Belgian Mecar anti-tank rie grenades.
MOUNTED ASSAULT
Te Israeli Chir Mamochan, their motorised infantry, devel-
oped techniques for ghting from their vehicles to enable
them to keep up with the pace of operations.
Armoured Transport teams in a platoon with the Mounted
Assault special rule are Mounted Assault Transports.
A Mounted Assault Transport has a dual nature. While
empty, it is just an ordinary Transport team, except that
they do not have to be Sent to the Rear when emptythey
can remain on the table and continue to ght.
When carrying Passengers, a Mounted Assault Transport is
treated as a Tank team for everything except Platoon Morale
Checks. If it is carrying two or more Passenger teams, it also
has Tank Escorts.
As a Tank team, a Mounted Assault Transport team
carrying Passengers may Charge into Contact and ght in
assault combat. As Open-topped Tank teams, the platoon
will be forced to Fall Back by ve hits or two Destroyed or
Bailed Out vehicles in Defensive Fire (see page 154 of the
rulebook).
If a Mounted Assault Transport team is Destroyed by
Defensive Fire, all surviving Passengers Fall Back 2/5cm
away from the teams they were charging. If the Passengers
cannot do this, they are Destroyed. Te platoon is not au-
tomatically Pinned Down when the Passengers Dismount,
and will only Fall Back if it takes ve hits or two Destroyed
or Bailed Out vehicles as usual. If a Mounted Assault
Transport team is Destroyed during the assault, any
Passengers are Destroyed with it.
Te Passengers do not need to Dismount to Counterattack.
Tey can stay Mounted or Dismount as they wish. If they
Dismount to Counterattack, their Transport team will be
Sent to the Rear.
If the platoon voluntarily Breaks O instead of Counter-
attacking, and the entire platoon is mounted in Mounted
Assault Transport teams, they may use the Break O
Trough the Enemy rule (see page 166 of the rulebook) as if
they were Tank teams.
At the end of the Assault Step, Mounted Assault Transport
teams that are Bailed Out are Sent to the Rear if they
have no Passengers, or automatically Remount (see page
102 of the rulebook) and are no longer Bailed Out if they
have Passengers.
AUTOMATIC RIFLES
Te Israeli Army uses the FN FAL as both its standard rie
and (in its heavy-barrelled form) as its squad automatic
weapon. Tis gives the riemen the ability to maintain their
repower on the move and deliver intense bursts of re at
short range.
FN FAL teams do not suer the usual +1 to hit penalty for
ring a ROF 1 weapon while moving or Pinned Down.
When not Pinned Down, FN FAL teams re-roll all failed
rolls to hit in Defensive Fire during assaults.

ARTILLERY BATTERY
Te main towed artillery piece in Israeli service was the
British OQF 25 pdr eld gun, a lightweight, but hard-
hitting weapon. As well as the original British Quad
tractors, the Israeli artillery used the American Dodge
-ton and GMC 2-ton trucks as gun tractors.
Te main Israeli self-propelled artillery piece in 1967
was the venerable American M7 Priest HMC of WWII
vintage. Despite its age, it continued to give sterling
service in support of the fast-moving armoured brigades.
Israeli Artillery
EXCELLENT COMMUNICATIONS
Modern radio systems gave every Israeli ocer the capability
to request artillery re whenever needed, making their artil-
lery incredibly exible and responsive.
Platoon and 2iC Command teams can act as Spotting
teams and request artillery re in the same manner as a
Company Command team, suering the same +1 penalty
to Range In (see page 126 of the rulebook).
UNDER COMMAND
Te battalion mortars maintained a close association with
the troops they supported, allowing them to respond to
requests for support quickly and accurately.
Company, 2iC, and any Platoon Command teams do not
suer the normal +1 penalty to Range In when Spotting for
Artillery Bombardments from platoons taken as a Combat
or Weapons choice.

OPERATION FOCUS
Operation Moked (Focus) was a pre-emptive air strike by the
Kheil HaAvir, the Israeli air force, on the Arab air forces.
Combined with their superb new Shahak air-superiority
ghters, the surprise strike gave the Israelis total dominance
in the air for the rest of the war.

AIR SUPPORT
Once they had dealt a devastating blow to the Arab air
forces in Operation Moked, the Israeli Air Force turned
its attention to supporting the army on the battleeld.
Te French Dassault Ouragan (Hurricane, pronounced
Israeli aircraft roll two dice on the How Many Aircraft
table and take the best result.
Israeli aircraft succeed in Fighter Interception on a roll of
5+ rather than the usual 6.
NAPALM
Te Israelis used napalm against Arab columns and troop
concentrations. Tis jellied petrol was a horric weapon
against infantry and unarmoured vehicles.
Napalm uses a Double-width Template (12/30cm by
6/15cm) instead of the usual Template. Place the Template
square to the table edges after removing the aircraft, with
the narrow end closest to where the aircraft was positioned.
Teams under the Template are hit on a roll of 6. Only Fully-
armoured vehicles have any protection against Napalm. If
any other type of vehicle or team is hit by Napalm, it is
automatically Destroyed unless it is in a Building, even if
it is in Bulletproof Cover. A Fully-armoured vehicle hit by
Napalm does not take an Armour Save. Instead, on a roll of
5+ the vehicle is Bailed Out. Otherwise, the crew are ne.
FAST MOVERS
Fast-moving jet aircraft are dicult to hit with manually-
aimed anti-aircraft guns. It takes an excellent crew and a bit
of good luck to hit one.
Fast-moving jet aircraft roll a die for each hit from an
Anti-aircraft weapon. On a score of 5+, they speed through
the danger zone, the shells bursting behind them, and are
unharmed. Otherwise they are hit as normal.

Carrying four 20mm cannon and a tonne of bombs, their
attacks on Arab forces enabled hard-pressed soldiers on
the ground to overcome pockets of resistance.
Israeli Aircraft
TALL FLIGHT STANDS
Aircraft, such as the Ouragan and Shahak, that use the tall
ight stand require some adjustments to the rules.
Aircraft on tall ight stands must be placed within 6/15cm
of the target rather than the usual 4/10cm of the target.

Israeli Special Rules
EVERY SOLDIER IS A LEADER
Ocers come up from the ranks giving them a close relation-
ship with their soldiers. Orders are discussed before battle so
that anyone can take over the lead should the ocer fall.
If a Platoon Command Infantry team is Destroyed, another
team takes over immediately. Remove any other Infantry
team in the platoon that is within Command Distance
of the Command team and replace it with the original
Platoon Command team. If the Platoon Command team
was a Warrior team, it is now just a standard Platoon
Command team.
If a Platoon Command Tank team is Destroyed, another
team takes over immediately. Nominate any other Tank
team in the platoon that is within Command Distance
of the Destroyed Command team to be the new Platoon
Command team.
If there is no team of an appropriate type within Command
Distance, then the Platoon Command team is Destroyed
and the platoon is left leaderless.
Te original Platoon Command team can still use this rule
while a Warrior team is leading the platoon and acting
as its Command team, but the rule does not apply to the
Warrior team.
A WAR OF SURVIVAL
Israeli soldiers are well aware of Arab propaganda demanding
the destruction of the State of Israel. Not surprisingly, Israeli
soldiers are determined to ght to protect their homes.
Israeli platoons may re-roll any failed Platoon Morale
Checks (as opposed to other Motivation Tests).
Israeli Company Command teams may re-roll any failed
Company Morale Checks (as opposed to other Motivation
Tests). In the absence of a Company or Higher Command
team, any Platoon Command team on the table can take a
Company Morale Check.
FEW AGAINST MANY
Israeli soldiers knew they were outnumbered and facing
threats from all sides. Hesitation was fatal and reluctance a
sin. Rapid movement, whether storming forward or ducking
back from enemy re, was essential to survival and victory.
Any platoon with a Platoon Command team may attempt
a Few Against Many move in its Assault Step.
Roll a Skill Test for each platoon.
If the test is passed, the platoon treats the Assault Step
as a Movement Step in which it can move up to another
4/10cm, regardless of its normal movement distance.
If the test is failed, the platoon cannot move any further
this turn.
Either way, a platoon that attempts to make a Few Against
Many move cannot take any part in an assault in the same
turn.
Although it is not the Movement Step, teams making a Few
Against Many move may Mount and Dismount as if it was
the Movement Step.
Platoons cannot make Few Against Many moves if they
moved At the Double. Bogged Down or Bailed Out vehicles
cannot make Few Against Many moves. Teams that used
Eyes and Ears to reveal Gone to Ground enemy troops
cannot make a Few Against Many move.
Only Armoured vehicles can make Few Against Many moves
if they are Pinned Down. Other types of teams cannot make
Few Against Many moves if they are Pinned Down.
Gun teams that shot earlier in the turn and Immobile Gun
teams cannot make a Few Against Many move, aside from
Unlimbering. Teams of any type that have red an Artillery
Bombardment cannot make a Few Against Many move.
24-HOUR BATTLE
Te Israeli command knew that it had to win the 1967 war
fast if it was going to win it at all. As a result, attacks were
ordered to continue after dark, with only a few hours to
resupply between one battle and the next.
An Israeli player may attempt to ght at night. If they do so,
roll a die before determining which player is the attacker:
On a roll of 6, the battle takes place at Dawn (see
page 273 of the rulebook) and the Israeli player is the
attacker.
On a roll of 5, the battle takes place at Dusk (see page 273
of the rulebook) and the Israeli player is the attacker.
Otherwise the game is fought using the normal rules
and the attacker is determined as normal.
If both players are rolling on this table, take the higher roll,
with this player being the attacker. If both players roll the
same number, determine the attacker as normal.

EGYPT AND THE UNITED ARAB REPUBLIC
In 1952, a revolution in Egypt kicked out the British and deposed King Farouk. Seven
years later, the new republican government removed the last vestiges of colonial control
when it renamed the country as the United Arab Republic. Te Republic was supposed
to encompass the whole Arab world, and did include Syria, with Iraq eager to join as
well, but in-ghting soon shattered any hope of unity. Syria and Iraq retained the ag,
and their independence, leaving the United Arab Republic with just the old Egyptian
lands. When President Nasser died in 1970, hopes of a pan-Arab state died with him and
the old name of Egypt returned.

Te Soviet Union sold large numbers of T-34/85M tanks

and a smaller number of IS-3M (Iosif Stalin) heavy tanks
to Egypt after the 1952 revolution, but few had arrived in
time for the Second Arab-Israeli War in 1956. After this
unexpected defeat, the Soviet Union also began shipping
their new T-54 and T-55 tanks to the Egyptians.
While the T-34/85M had been as good as or better than
most Israeli tanks in 1956, it was showing its age by 1967
and was mostly relegated to infantry support work, backed
up by the powerful IS-3M heavy tank. By comparison, the
T-54 and T-55 were very powerful modern tanks. Teir
frontal armour matched the heavy IS-3M, their gun could
penetrate any Western tank, and they were as fast as the
lighter T-34.

2 ZSU-57-2 95 points
Te ZSU-57-2 anti-aircraft tank is the chassis of a T-54
battle tank mounting twin 57mm anti-aircraft guns in
an open-topped turret. Its rate of re made it deadly
to aircraft, while its high-velocity, long-barrelled guns
punch through light armour with ease.
STABILISERS
Te stabiliser on the later model T-54 and T-55 tanks enabled them to re on the move with a reasonable degree of accuracy.
Given the diculty of loading the huge 100mm rounds in a cramped turret, anything that made each shot more likely to hit
was a big improvement.
A moving tank ring a gun tted with a Stabiliser shoots at its full ROF.
If the gun has ROF 2 or more, it adds a penalty of +1 to the score To Hit.
If the gun has ROF 1, it ignores the normal +1 penalty To Hit when moving (but still retains the +1 to hit for the Taaa
special rule).
United Arab Republic Tanks

INFRARED SEARCHLIGHTS
When the Israelis continued their attacks into the night they
were shocked to discover that the latest Soviet tanks used by
the Arabs mounted infrared searchlights that allowed them
to locate targets in the dark far more easily.
A platoon with Infrared Searchlights rolls two dice and
takes the best result when rolling on the Night Visibility
Table (see page 272 of the rulebook). Vehicles with Infrared
Searchlights do not need to re-roll Bogging Checks when
crossing Rough Terrain at Night.
Tanks using Infrared Searchlights can be seen at any range
and do not count as Concealed by either night or terrain when
shot at by other tanks equipped with Infrared Searchlights,
even if the other tanks do not use their searchlights.
Unlike Western tanks, Soviet tanks did not incorporate a
white-light option in their searchlights, so cannot illuminate
targets for other teams.
TAAA
Taaa, obedience to elders and submission to the will of
Allah, was an important aspect of Arab culture. Tis meshed
well with Soviet doctrine that required a tank company
to operate as a single entity under the close control of the
company commander.
If an Arab Warrior or Platoon Command team moves in the
Movement Step, all of the Tank teams in its platoon (Arab
company) must move as well. If the Platoon Command team
does not move, only Tank teams that started the Movement
Step Out of Command may move.
Any Tank team that moves adds +1 to the score required to
hit when shooting with its main gun. Tis gives a cumula-
tive penalty of +2 for ROF 1 weapons (such as the 122mm
gun on the IS-3M and the 100mm gun on the T-54 and
T-55) unless they have Stabilisers. Machine-guns do not
suer this penalty.

Te United Arab Republic followed Soviet Doctrine,

supporting their tanks with mechanised infantry bat-
talions, Kuteybh Meshah Meykaneykeyh (pronounced
kur-tee-bah moo-shaht mee-kan-ik-ee-a) in Arabic,
mounted in six-wheeled BTR-152 armoured transport-
ers. Te infantry were equipped with a mix of Soviet and
locally-made equipment. Soldiers carried a mix of AK47
assault ries and locally-made semi-automatic ries,
backed up with Belgian Blindicide (Armour Killer)
bazookas, Soviet RPD machine-guns, and B-10 82mm
recoilless guns.
RECOILLESS GUNS
Te B-10 82mm recoilless gun gave the infantry an eective
light anti-tank weapon at the company level. Unfortunately,
the huge backblast from ring it revealed its position, making
it important to knock out the target with the rst shots.
B-10 82mm recoilless guns use the Recoilless Guns rule on
page 119 of the rulebook. Tis means that the ring team
never counts as Concealed when they re the recoilless gun,
and they cannot re the recoilless gun from buildings or if there
is a friendly Infantry team within 2/5cm behind them.

CARRIES PASSENGERS
Te BTR-50PK used by the scout companies was primarily
an armoured personnel carrier. Tese troops were trained to
do reconnaissance by battle, that is to drive forward until
they encountered resistance they couldnt overrun!
BTR-50PK armoured personnel carriers are Tank teams.
However, each BTR-50PK can carry up to four Infantry
teams as Passengers as if it was a Transport team. BTR-50PK
armoured personnel carriers cannot be Sent to the Rear
during the game like Transport teams.
If the BTR-50PK armoured personnel carriers are Pinned
Down, their Passenger teams are also Pinned Down. Bailed
Out BTR-50PK armoured personnel carriers do not roll to
Remount at the end of the Step in the way that Armoured
Transports do.
If an BTR-50PK armoured personnel carrier is Destroyed
by shooting, Artillery Bombardment or air attack, the
Passengers take a 5+ Passenger Save with the survivors
Dismounting Under Fire and becoming Pinned Down
as usual. If an BTR-50PK armoured personnel carrier is
Destroyed in an assault, any Passengers are automatically
Destroyed.
Mechanised platoons combining BTR-50PK armoured per-
sonnel carriers and Infantry teams count both types of team
when determining if the platoon has More Teams Destroyed
than Still Fighting in Platoon Morale Checks.
Each tank and mechanised infantry regiment had a scout
company equipped with amphibious PT-76 tanks and
BTR-50PK transporters. Soviet doctrine (as used by the
United Arab Republic) called for a rapid, uninterrupted
advance, so the reconnaissance elements were expected
to move forward at speed until engaged, then either
overrun the defenders or bypass them and continue
advancing. If worst came to worst, the destruction of
the scout company would alert the following troops to
the presence of a strong defensive position.
Tese companies combine tanks for repower and
infantry in light BTR-50PK transporters to lead the
advance. If the company ran into anti-tank guns, the
infantry platoon could dismount and assault to clear
the way forward, covered by their transporters and
the tanks.
SCOUT COMPANY
SPEARHEAD OF THE ADVANCE
Te scout company was supposed to lead the advance,
pushing forward to locate enemy strongpoints before they
could engage and delay the main force.
Te Scout Company uses the Spearhead Deployment special
rule on page 261 of the rulebook. It is not a Reconnaissance
Platoon.

Te Russians have traditionally had a strong artillery
arm. Te Soviet Army maintained this tradition with
each division supported by multiple battalions of 18
guns each. Te United Arab Republic, being organised
on Soviet lines, carried things further, concentrating
whole artillery brigades to maximise its eect.
Most of the artillery was old Second World War surplus
(even if it got a new name). Te 122mm M-30 was the
old 1938 model and the 152mm D-1 was the old 1943
model. Despite their age, they still outranged the Israeli
artillery, as well as throwing heavier shells.

AIR SUPPORT
Despite Israels surprise attack on the Arab air forces, the
sheer number of aircraft available to the United Arab
Republic and its allies allowed them to continue small-
scale air attacks until the end of the war.
FAST MOVERS
Fast-moving jet aircraft are dicult to hit with manually-
aimed anti-aircraft guns. It takes an excellent crew and good
deal of luck to hit one.
Fast-moving jet aircraft roll a die for each hit from an
Anti-aircraft weapon. On a score of 5+, they speed through
the danger zone, the shells bursting behind them, and are
unharmed. Otherwise they are hit as normal.

When they received their T-34 tanks, the United
Arab Republic also purchased Czechoslovakian-built
SU-100M self-propelled guns. Despite the design
dating back to the end of the Second World War, the
100mm gun in the SU-100M could still knock out any
tank ghting in 1967.
TANK KILLER
Te SU-100M self-propelled gun was used as a long-range
anti-tank weapon to support tanks and infantry against
Israeli tanks. Its rate of re was slow, but its accuracy was
good when the crew took their time to line up their shots.
An SU-100M that did not move in the Movement Step may
re-roll failed rolls To Hit when shooting their main guns at
platoons with all teams more than 16/40cm away.

JABRI
While the ocers of the Arab armies were from the upper
parts of society, the soldiers were nomads, villagers, and
peasants. Te gulf between them was enormous. Ocers
lived well, but paid scant attention to the wellbeing of
their troops. When the situation deteriorated, most ocers
put their own survival well ahead of that of their troops.
Fortunately for the Arab cause, the soldiers were much more
jabri, fatalistic, and often fought to the end, even without
their ocers.
If an Arab platoon with a Platoon Command team or an
attached Command team fails a Platoon Morale Check
(after any re-rolls), or an Arab company with a Higher,
Company, or 2iC Command team fails a Company Morale
Check, roll a die:
On a roll of 5 or 6, you pass the Platoon or Company
Morale Check, but remove the most senior Command team
involved as it heads to the rear. In the case of a Platoon
Morale Check this is the most senior Command team in
or Joined to the platoon. In the case of a Company Morale
Check, it is the Command team that would normally take
the Motivation Test. If this was the last team in a platoon,
the platoon is no longer on the table, but is not Destroyed.
Otherwise, the Platoon or Company Morale Check is
failed as normal.
ALAMAM
Te Arab armies have been fed a steady diet of anti-Jewish
propaganda since the formation of Israel. Te basic message
is usually the same, Soon all Arabs will unite to smite Israel
and destroy the Jews. Many Arab soldiers were eager to
alamam, to advance, and get to grips with the Israelis, often
rashly so, and take the oensive all the way to Tel Aviv.
Any Arab platoon with a Command team may attempt an
Alamam move at the start of the Shooting Step instead of
shooting. If a platoon attempts to make an Alamam move, it
may not shoot, even if it fails to make an Alamam move.
Roll a Motivation Test for the platoon:
If the test is successful, the platoon may move another
4/10cm.
Otherwise, the platoon cannot move this step.
All of the normal rules apply for this movement. Platoons
cannot make Alamam moves if they are Pinned Down or
cannot make Alamam moves.
United Arab Republic Special Rules

CENTRALISED CONTROL
Te armies of the United Arab Republic were equipped and
trained by the Soviet Union. Te Soviet Armys doctrine
stressed the use of massed forces and shock eect over small
unit tactics, and this meshed well with the Arab armies focus
on obedience and high-level planning.
To reect this, United Arab Republic forces are organised
dierently from other armies. For game purposes, a United
Arab Republic company is treated as a single platoon and a
whole battalion operates like most armies companies.
Wherever the rules talk about a platoon, read that as an
Arab company. Where the rules talk about a company, read
that as an Arab battalion.
Tus a United Arab Republic company is led by a Platoon
Command team and operates like a large platoon. A United
Arab Republic battalion is led by a Company Command team
and operates as a large company. Tis means for example,
that while an Israeli platoon must remain in command to
move freely, an entire United Arab Republic company must
be in command to do the same.
QUALITY OF QUANTITY
Following the focus on mass and shock eect, the Arab
armies used large-scale assaults to overcome Israeli defences.
With whole companies assaulting at once, only a strong
defence with plenty of repower could stop them.
A platoon (Arab company) with at least fteen Infantry or
Gun teams In Command has Quality of Quantity. Include
any attached teams, and any Warrior and Independent
teams that have Joined it when determining if a platoon
(Arab company) has Quality of Quantity.
A platoon (Arab company) starting the Shooting Step with
Quality of Quantity must take at least ten hits (instead of
the usual ve) in a single Shooting Step before they become
Pinned Down, although a single hit from an Artillery
Bombardment still Pins them Down.
Teams from a platoon (Arab company) starting the Assault
Step with Quality of Quantity may Charge into Contact
and Counterattack from 12/30cm away from the enemy
rather than 8/20cm as usual. Teams further than 12/30cm
are still Non-assaulting teams.
A platoon (Arab company) with at least fteen Assaulting
Infantry teams must take at least ten hits in Defensive Fire
before they are Pinned Down and forced to Fall Back.

Jordan was a small country with a relatively small army.
Until 1956, the Jordanian Army had been a long-service
professional force led by British ocers. With the forma-
tion of the Jordanian Arab Army, the British were kicked
out and the army expanded four-fold, including the
creation of two armoured brigades (each of two armoured
regiments) and two independent armoured regiments.
TAAA
Taaa, obedience to elders and submission to the will of Allah,
was an important aspect of Arab culture. Jordanian military
tradition owed a lot to the British Army, but even more to
their own history and traditions, especially after the rapid
expansion of the army and the resulting lack of well-trained
junior ocers and NCOs.
STABILISERS
Te Centurion was tted with a very ecient stabiliser that
kept the gun pointing at the target between shots as the tank
moved. Tis made shooting on the move from a Centurion
much more eective than other tanks.
A moving tank tted with a Stabiliser can re a main gun
with ROF 2 or more at its full ROF, but adds a penalty of
+1 to the score to hit. Tis is in addition to the +1 to hit for
the Taaa special rule, giving a total of +2 to hit.
JORDANIAN TANKS
SKIRTS
Te British-supplied Centurion tanks were tted with
bazooka skirts or bazooka plates and turret stowage bins
to protect them from bazooka-armed tank hunters.
If a tank protected by Skirts fails an Armour Save against a
weapon with a Firepower rating of 5+ or 6 hitting its Side
armour, roll a special 4+ Skirts Save:
If the save is successful, the Skirts protect the tank from
the hit, which has no eect.
If the save is not successful, the shot penetrates the side
armour as normal.
Following British practice, the armoured regiments

were battalion sized, composed of three company-sized
armoured squadrons, called Saraya Mudre (pronounced
sur-ree-ya moo-der-rah) in Arabic. Te Jordanian Arab
Army was the best equipped in the Middle East, with all
of its tanks being modern M47 and M48 Patton tanks
from the United States or Centurions from Britain.

If a Warrior or Platoon Command team moves in the
Movement Step, all of the Tank teams in its platoon must
move as well. If the Platoon Command team does not move,
only Tank teams that started the Movement Step Out of
Command may move.
Any Tank team that moves adds +1 to the score required to
hit when shooting with its main gun. Tis gives a cumula-
tive penalty of +2 for stabilised ROF 2 weapons. Machine-
guns do not suer this penalty.

MUDRE (ARMOURED) PLATOON
PLATOON
Jordans armoured forces used the same British Centurion
and American M48 Patton tanks as their Israeli foes.
However, since they faced mainly up-gunned Sherman
tanks and AMX light tanks, they usually outmatched the
Israelis on a tank-for-tank basis.

Jordanian Special Rules
JORDANIAN LIONS
Jordanian troops displayed an exceptional stubbornness in
holding their positions. Time after time their troops fought
where they stood, refusing to give up ground until defeated.
When Jordanian platoons test their Motivation to
Counterattack in assaults, you may re-roll the die and apply
the re-rolled result to all Jordanian platoons that failed on
the original roll.
JABRI
Jordanian ocers were mostly Bedouin loyal to King
Hussein, while most of the soldiers in the technical services
(including most tank crews) were town-dwelling Hadari
and viewed with suspicion. Te gulf between them was a
signicant weakness. When the situation deteriorated, many
ocers put their own survival ahead of that of their troops.
Fortunately for the Arab cause, the soldiers were much more
jabri, fatalistic, and often fought to the end, even without
their ocers.
If an Arab platoon with a Platoon Command team or an
attached Command team fails a Platoon Morale Check
(after any re-rolls), or an Arab company with a Higher,
Company, or 2iC Command team fails a Company Morale
Check, roll a die:
On a roll of 5 or 6, you pass the Platoon or Company
Morale Check, but remove the most senior Command team
involved as it heads to the rear. In the case of a Platoon
Morale Check this is the most senior Command team in
or Joined to the platoon. In the case of a Company Morale
Check, it is the Command team that would normally take
the Motivation Test. If this was the last team in a platoon,
the platoon is no longer on the table, but is not Destroyed.
Otherwise, the Platoon or Company Morale Check is
failed as normal.
ALAMAM
Te Arab armies have been fed a steady diet of anti-Jewish
propaganda since the formation of Israel. Te basic message
is usually the same, Soon all Arabs will unite to smite Israel
and destroy the Jews. Many Arab soldiers were eager to
alamam, to advance, and get to grips with the Israelis, often
rashly so, and take the oensive all the way to Tel Aviv.
Any Arab platoon with a Command team may attempt an
Alamam move at the start of the Shooting Step instead of
shooting. If a platoon attempts to make an Alamam move, it
may not shoot, even if it fails to make an Alamam move.
Roll a Motivation Test for the platoon:
If the test is successful, the platoon may move another
4/10cm.
Otherwise, the platoon cannot move this step.
All of the normal rules apply for this movement. Platoons
cannot make Alamam moves if they are Pinned Down or
cannot make Alamam moves.
