Yom Kippur - Pre-Turn I

Egyptian Pre-Game Barrage Phase

Prior to the first game turn the Egyptian player can use his artillery to soften Israeli targets; since Egypt main goal was to establish a crossing over the Canal it decided to focus on the few Bar Lev forts standing in its way.

Fig 1 - Egyptian Pre-Game Barrage

Barrage results were quite disappointing since the Nozel Bar Lev fort at 32.23 - the one blocking our main force path of attack - came out unharmed (Die roll of 2 @ 24 column on Barrage Table).

Despite the Nozel Bar Lev drawback the Purkan fort at 29.24 got Disorganized (7 @ 24) which should help when opening a supply line for later attacks on the Chinese Farm and the Lituf fort at 15.17 lost 1 step and became Disorganized (10 @ 18).

Air Unit Reset and SAM Suppression Allocation

Egypt got 3Air Points (AP) while Israel got 2; Israel allocated 1 AP for SAM suppression allowing the remaining 1 AP to fly missions within Egyptian SAM range (6 @ 1)
