About the Game

This is the twenty-second of the Avalanche Press Golden Journal supplements. It contains 24 additional counters as well as additional scenarios.

[Includes] a battalion of Soviet paratroopers to battle the Israelis in the threatened but never executed intervention into the Six Day War.

The Soviet Army's 103rd Guards Airborne Division is a well-trained and well-armed outfit, in the midst of preparations for the Dnepr 1967 exercises - a complete contrast to the Arab armies the Israelis face in the standard scenarios in 1967: Sword of Israel.

The Soviet parachute battalion of 1967 is very much a light infantry outfit - air-droppable armored carriers would only start to arrive the next year, converting the airborne formations into far more capable all-arms units. To make up for that lack, the battalion wields a large number of support weapons: Sagger anti-tank missiles, heavy mortars, recoilless rifles and the diminuitive ASU-85 assault gun.
