Crossfire:
A Middle-Eastern Variant
I've started compiling some Crossfire amendments for refighting the Arab-Israeli conflicts. I've also started putting together scenarios - particularly for 1948-49.
Crossfire for the Arab-Israeli wars
This is just an abbreviated list of my Crossfire House Rules that are relevant to the Arab-Israeli Wars, and how to apply them in this war.
Cover
Use rocky areas, boulder fields, and lots of crests and depressions. Lines of sight are a bit longer than in a normal CF setup, but the game works fine.

Aircraft
The Aircraft special rule is applicable to the Arab-Israeli wars. The air superiority modifier depends on which year the games is being played in:
| Year | Air Superiority Modifier | |
| Israel | Arab | |
| 1948 - 55 | 0 | 0 |
| 1956 - 66 | +1 | 0 |
| 1967 - 72 | +3 | 0 |
| 1973 - 81 | +1 | 0 |
| 1982 + | +2 | 0 |
AFV actions
The AFV actions special rule can be used.
