I guess these figures could be used in '73 but technically so far BF is only covering the '67 Six Day War.

Interesting you mentioned the '73 October War Tango. That was the war that completely changed land warfare with the mass introduction of the Anti-Tank Missile thw man portable RPG-7 and the mobile AA Missile by the Arab armies. We had a taste of what AT missiles could do when US provided the South Vietnamese with TOW AT missiles that stopped a 1972 NVA armored offensive dead in its tracks. I wonder how Battlefront will contend with those innovations. Anyhoo salut y'all!

Oh, dear. If BF does the '73 I may no longer be able to hold out against FoW.

Of course the '67 keeps drawing me closer.

I ran a FOW "Valley of Tears" game at Little Wars last year that went very well. In the game I had my Syrian Infantry equipped w/saggers.

I'm sure Battlefront will cover 1973 at some point. In the meantime we've got introductory rules and lists here:
