Ideas mostly taken from the MOUT page for Operation Peace for Galilee

Category: Lebanon WarWhat I call the “Lebanon War” covers the various conflicts in Lebanon 1975-2001. I’m primarily interested in Operation Peace for Galilee (1982-84) but I’ll be collecting notes on the entire Lebanese Civil War (1975-90) and Israeli occupation (1982-2001). This period is interesting to me because after many years of warfare depending almost exclusively on armour the Israelis and their foes reverted to more infantry focused tactics – partially because the infantry anti-tank weapons had become quite effective and partly because of the nature of the terrain being fought over (urban and mountains). The War in Lebanon can be divided into these periods (Hiro, 1993): This is just a cursory look at the armed groups in the period of the Lebanese Civil War (1975+) through the 1982 Lebanon War and who was fighting who. Some thoughts for scenarios in the Lebanon War. A place holder for the order of battle used by the Arab forces – whether Christian, Muslim, Shia, Sunni, Druze, Lebanese, Palestinian, Syrian – during the 1982 Lebanon War. I don’t have a lot here at the moment. I understand the Lebanese Militias operated in fairly ad hoc formations. Some rough notes on the Israeli Order of Battle for the Lebanon War. An annotated bibliography for the Arab-Israel Wars. Very, very draft painting guide for the Arab-Israel Wars. I wanted to make some Arab-Israeli objective makers for Crossfire and thought flags would be a simple answer. It turns out the Arab states were in a period of transition so the flags are many and varied. I needed a table so I could understand the Israeli system of ranks. Here’s a brief description of the various weapons/vehicles used in the Arab-Israel Wars. The IDF uses platoons, companies, battalion, etc just like the rest of the world. But I thought it would be handy to have a table of showing the Hebrew and English equivalents. Infiltration of national borders has been a component of the Arab-Israeli conflict, for example, during 1949-53 the Arabs organised over 3,000 infiltrations and in 1949-56 over two hundred Israelis were killed by mistanenim. The general name for this conflict is the Terrorist War, however, the War of Attrition (1968-70) also saw many infiltrations. I have grouped them together as the military operations were very similar. I’ve started compiling some Crossfire amendments for refighting the Arab-Israeli conflicts. I’ve also started putting together scenarios – particularly for 1948-49. Data sheets for my Arab-Israeli Crossfire. |
