 GMT GAMES: Crisis: Sinai 1973
On October 6, 1973, Egyptian forces, lavishly equipped with the latest Soviet weaponry, launched a surprise attack in overwhelming strength against the 436 Israeli infantrymen and 200 tanks that were guarding the Suez Canal.
Finally, when the Israeli Air Force was sent to rescue the hard-pressed ground forces, it ran into an almost impenetrable wall of antiaircraft guns and SAMs (including the hitherto unknown and very deadly Soviet SA-6s) that took a dreadful toll on the attacking Phantoms and Skyhawks.
History tells us that the Israelis managed to overcome the initial consequences of their own overconfidence and reverse the course of the war through a combination of sheer guts, brilliant improvisation and superior technique in mobile warfare.
