All,
Greetings, and welcome to another new wargaming blog, in which I'll play out various actions of the Arab-Israeli Wars, from the War for Independence to present. We start in 1948: It's 28 March 1948 in the Palestine Mandate. Times have been rough in recent years between the Jews and Arabs, but now, with the pending British departure from the territory, the violence has escalated. As the Brits prepare to leave, both the Jews and the Arabs jockey for position, with former neighbors picking up weapons against each other. To add to the volatility, Arab volunteers from the nearby Jordan, Iraq, Syria, Egypt, and Lebanon are arriving in the area, while the Jews are added to by refugees from war-ravaged Europe seeking asylum.

The firefight is intense, with both sides taking casualties. I've already played the second game and am working on the batrep, so stay tuned for more fun.
Please leave a comment on the blog if you're willing/able.
