Peak Courage :  the battles for Mount Hermon October 1973

Middle-East, 1973, Yom Kippour. Egypt and Syria launched simultaneous and stunning attacks against Israel - threatening its existence. One of the most bitterly contested bits of real estate was around Mt. Hermon.

At the very start of the war, Syrian commandoes captured the Israeli strongpoint atop Mt. Hermon in a daring surprise attack. Shocked by the fall of their outpost, the Israeli High Command resolved to retake the position. In a series of two bloody attacks the Israelis eventually recaptured Mt. Hermon, but at a devastating cost to both sides' forces. This battle was fought between two sets of professional armed forces.

Peak Courage commemorates and examines this desperate little battle with 8 pages of rules, 80 die-cut pieces and an 11"x 17" map.
