POLL: Lack of Quality Figures Holding Back Arab-Israeli War Gaming?

It isn't the lack of figures available in any given scale. I will second what Fredrick said – it is really hard to hand one player the Egyptians/Syrians and tell him he needs to remove his frotal lobe before he takes command. You can't game stupidity and if it is a game with a referee, the ref feels like he has it out for the Egyptian/Syrian forces because NO tabletop gamer could blunder as badly as the actual commanders given the tabletop look down view that gamers have.

It's like trying to actually command a Prussian assault against a numerically superior Austrian or French opponent who does not have significant constraints on his command and control of his troops – you can't game the stupidity of some generals.
