Fate of a Nation: October War Campaign Kickoff
The NUTS group and friends have started up a campaign refighting the October 1973 fighting on the Sinai front.
The initial turn saw overwhelming Egyptian forces pushing across the Suez Canal and through the Bar Lev line. The main Israeli forces
remained in reserve, so the fighting saw Israeli screening forces and Bar Lev strongpoints trying to hold off masses of Egyptians.
When the dust settled, the Bar Lev Line was badly penetrated, with the Egyptians securing lodgement at Qantara, Mifraket, Purkan, Matzmed
and Nisan. The Israelis did manage one draw, and a solitary victory, despite being massively outnumbered. Night has now fallen, what will
the tricky Egyptians try next?
