MORALE BREAKTINGM (change)

The point where a nation's morale breaks is left unchanged but we are re-defining the "effect" of that morale break. We will define it in terms of a break in the Syrian morale, but the redefinition would also apply to both the Egyptians and the Israelis.

The effect is as follows: From that instant on, all Syrian direct fires against Israeli units must add "one" to their die roll. Artillery shelling and air combat is unaffected by the morale breaking.

However, any Syrian units in either Fort Hebron or in a "fortification" of "fortified area" hex are immune to this rule. So when the Syrian fires out from these positions, his fire is unaffected.

MIG-23, EGYPTIAN OB (correction)

When the basic research for BAR-LEV was done there was reasonable evidence that Russia had given the Eqyntians the new MIG-23 fighters. This has since been demonstrated to be wrong. So, for a strict historical name they should be deleted from the Egyptian OB. However, they could still be used in various "what if" scenarios.

REFITTING ARAB ARTILLERY (clarification)

On the REFIT TABLES it is said that Arab artillery cannot be refitted. This is true, but the question arose of using it to "re-fit" equivalent units. In other words, what the Arab player wanted to do as scrap three "6-6" arty and take a "6-4" mech. inf. back. This WOULD NOT be allowed. Arab artillery may not refit AND it may not be used to help refit any other Arab units. When it is killed it goes straight to the "Units Scapped Box". The same applies to SAMs.

REFITTING BRIDGES (clarification)

Yes, the Arab player may refit his destroyed bridges at the normal rate.

RECCE JEEP UTILIZATION (clarification)

This rule, though it describes the function of these units does not really explain thier implementation. And since this is a key Israeli tactic it is important that it be understood. The actual sequence is as follows:

1. Arab unit moves up to Israeli "jeep" and ANNOUNCES that it intends to fire on it.

2. Israli player than either has his jeep sit and take it or immediately pull back one hex.

3. The Arab unit involved then moves into the hex where the jeep used to be. Neither the jeep nor that involved Arab unit or units may fire in this particular fire phase.

a. The recce jeep may not pull back through an Arab ZOC
b. The recce jeep units may be refitted any number of times.
c. The recce jeep may do this only in the Arab Module. If it voluntarally stays next to an Arab unit in the Israeli movement phase it can be fired on like any other unit.
