Background: Three Mysteres met an equal number of Sabres over the Kashmir on the fifth day of the conflict. The very high altitude at which this engagement was fought limited the maneuverability of both sides. The fight finally proved inconclusive after the Pakistanis, who were lower on fuel, tired of the action and broke off. Maps: A Game Length: 30 game-turns. Notes: 1.
