Turn 1 – 4
Soldiers of the Southern attack wing bounce about in BMP's as they race towards the hill codenamed 'The Fort'. Their forces comprise of 7x BMPS, 3x T62 battle tanks and a variety of light troops and trucks.
The Northern wing meanwhile trundles onwards through the desert, with 6x BMPS and 3x T62 battle tanks. To the distant rear the artillery are deployed under cover of HMG units, on two plateaus.
Many light units, scouts, and several HMG including Fatah himself are forced to run after the advancing units on foot, some of them hitching rides on trucks and jeeps whizzing forward.
As the first units of the Southern Wing reach 'The Fort' the soldiers rush from their APC's to man positions along the ascent facing the Algerian lines. Other's drag out shovels and sandbags to help fortify their position, producing sand banks for several of the APC's as they attempt to dig in.
The Northern Wing too continues its adance with several objectives seized. The sound if distant machine gun chatter does little to reveal the enemies position, which seems strangely quiet.
Many of the stragglers behind the advancing wings are collected by trucks moving in from the rear. As they race to deliver reinforcements to The Fort, the forces already there consolidate there entrenched positions.
Fatah, still some distance behind the lines is pleased to hear the confident radio chatter of his lieutenants. “The Algerians don't have a chance against our fortifications.”
