This scenario balances the victory conditions (VC): the Egyptians (EG) win by eliminating five Israeli (IS) tank steps, while the IS win by exiting 32 (out of 46) units off the opposite board edge in this one map game. The terrain is unusual in that a belt of wadis stretches along the width of board on its western half, where the IS have to exit. This allows the EG to shelter unseen and avoid a long range confrontation with the IS supermen (their entire army is efficient, and has superior weapons and leadership). Playing solitaire, I pretty much messed things up for both sides. I did not grasp the importance of the road leading from the eastern edge to the western until well into the game. Thus, the EG neglected to pile it on in that sector. For the IS, I kept the vulnerable AMX-13's in the front line, with dire consequences for the step loss tally. The EG popped out of the wadis when they went last on about game turn five, when the IS armor had closed. Even though they lost the initiative the next turn, enough of their armor survived to savage the AMX-13's and take out a step or two of M51 Super Shermans as well. There it was: six steps lost. That was it though for the EG armor. None survived into the next game turn. This left just the scattered and poorly supported EG infantry to contest IS board exit. It was not a fair fight.
