After the battle on the Golan Front started going against Syria, great pressure was put on the Egyptians to launch as assault deeper into the Sinai to draw off IDF reinforcements from the Northern Front. The attack when it came was ill conceived, widely dispersed and quickly defeated.

First Turn: 5
Last Turn: 6

Special rules:

1. The Israeli player sets up first.

Victory

The Egyptian Player wins based on occupying the following numbers of Objective Hexes at the conclusion of the scenario:

One objective hex captured: Marginal Victory
Two objective hexes captured: Major Victory
Three or more objective hexes captured: Decisive Victory The Israeli Player wins if he/she avoids Egytian Victory conditions.

Scenario Notes: This Scenario follows the Historical deployment closely without totally restricting the player to the historical course of action. The Egyptian player should choose two or three objectives to strive for and attack them exclusively. Attacking along too many axes (as the Egyptians historically did) will just disperse your efforts and thus your chances for success.

[Ed. note: The short duration and deployment latitude in this scenario combine to make optimizing your setup as important as playing well. Have fun.]
