Arab Israeli Wars by Avalon Hill - What's inside the box!
In this video I take a look at The Araf-Israeli Wars and what you should expect to get in the box if you should purchase one used. I also talk about how I use to play this game back in the late 70's. Enjoy.

I had this game when I was a teenager

[@NerdWorkshop1]

same here.

[@jobu88]

One of my favorites from way back in the day. Like a lot of players, I back-fit numerous AIW rules into Panzer Leader -- the variable Morale levels and non-automatic recovery from Dispersed, the new artillery rules, and the overrun rules that don't require moving through the defender's hex. Also cutting tank movement ratings down to 60% of the printed value. Still has great replay ability.

[@charleslatora5750]

Yes.

[@NerdWorkshop1]

Jobu88 I owned it back in the day, but I can only remember playing it once. But that will all change soon. Hoping to play it this year on the channel.

[@jobu88]

@@NerdWorkshop1 It's available on Vassal like everything else and the simple game mechanics really lend themselves to playing on Vassal.

[@HissyCat]

This game has been on my short list forever, now i may have to pick it up. =)

[@NerdWorkshop1]

Yes you will have to Hissy. Then we can get together and play.

[@GotoHere]

You can line the boards also end to end. I believe there are a few scenarios, where you align the map boards in that direction. Really fun scenarios. Going by memory back to 1977.

[@GrumblingGrognard]

There are, and you need the room for those long-range missiles. Great game.

[@NerdWorkshop1]

I was looking at one of them today!

[@charleslatora5750]

The last born of THE Avalon Hill Triplets. All three are fun n fast to play. Loved the stepped instructions.

[@charleslatora5750]

Actually this was the first game I played after coming back to gaming when I retired over 5 years ago. My collection was so small back then.

[@NerdWorkshop1]

I do like this manual as opposed to the PlanzerBlitz.

[@MeanderingMikesManCave]

I also have this, and have not yet had a chance to play it. Someday !

[@NerdWorkshop1]

Hopefully soon Mike.

[@clarkcommando1983]

Nice video I still play from time to time

[@NerdWorkshop1]

I need to make some time to play it again. Thanks for watching.

[@GrumblingGrognard]

This game was the ultimate evolution of Panzer Blitz/Leader and only suffered (very badly!) from the horrible scenarios included (very unbalanced).

[@NerdWorkshop1]

I remember reading about some unbalanced Scenario somewhere back in the day. But I am still going to give it a go soon.

[@jimsmith7445]

Great production quality, good maps... IF this game wasn't so dammed unbalanced it might have been a much better game. Israeli's NEVER LOSE

[@NerdWorkshop1]

I hear that a lot, I will have to find out soon.

[@Demy1970]

Matrix has a good computer version and wds as well

[@NerdWorkshop1]

Nice.

[@Demy1970]

Is there solitaire rules for this game ever produced? Nice Nerd

[@NerdWorkshop1]

If there is it would be on boardgames geek. Thanks HaroldDemy.

[@davidcook8230]

Another beloved game in the PanzerBlitz family. It gets an unfair knock as unbalanced because some never took the time to figure out how to play as the Arabs. A few scenarios are Israeli slanted, but most are winnable as the Arabs with solid play and figuring out the Arab way of using numbers and terrain. By the way, I have not been getting KZbin subscription notifications for your channel for a couple weeks and spotted this over in BGG instead.

[@NerdWorkshop1]

I don't have that much knowledge on that David, but I am hoping your are correct. Thanks for watching.
