Overview:

Moshe Dayan was assigned to a small Australian-Palmach-Arab reconnaissance task force, formed in preparation for the Allied invasion of Syria and Lebanon and attached to the Australian 7th Division. Using his home kibbutz of Hanita as a forward base, the unit frequently infiltrated Vichy French Lebanon, wearing traditional Arab dress, on covert surveillance missions. On 7 June 1941, the night before the invasion of the Syria–Lebanon Campaign, Dayan's unit crossed the border and secured two bridges over the Litani River. When they were not relieved as expected, at 04:00 on 8 June, the unit perceived that it was exposed to possible attack and—on its own initiative—assaulted a nearby Vichy police station, capturing it. A few hours later, as Dayan was on the roof of the building using binoculars to scan Vichy French positions on the other side of the river, the binoculars were struck by a French rifle bullet fired by a sniper from several hundred yards away, propelling metal and glass fragments into his left eye and causing severe damage. Six hours passed before he could be evacuated, and he would have died if not for Bernard Dov Protter, who took care of him until they were evacuated. Dayan lost the eye. In addition, the damage to the extraocular muscles was such that Dayan could not be fitted with a glass eye, and he was compelled to adopt the black eye patch that became his trademark.

2024-01-12(A) Jason Nichols vs Rob MacGinley Australian winPlays well as the attacker. Making use of LV hindrance to close with the defenders. A few good IFT rolls could have made the job hard but I was lucky Rob couldn't pay for a low DR. The Aussies' high morale needs to get them into position to attack the buildings before the French reinforcements arrive. I concentrated on the right and didn't go for the gun until turn 4. Everything went well for the Aussies and Rob conceded in turn 5.

2017-06-17(A) Christian Knudsen vs Neil Andrews Vichy French winNeil, on the other hand, set up to protect both objectives, and did a good job of breaking my poor diggers as they tried to close and assault the village. His use of reinforcing cavalry was also highly effective. Well Done Neil!
2017-06-16(D) Jonathan Kay vs Wai Wong Vichy French winThis scenario could have gone either way. Major firefight on turns 4 and 5 for control of the main building area. The 37mm gun on the armoured car was unexepctedly effective in blowing up stacks of Australians who were pushing from house to house in the victory area
2017-06-13(A) Andy Beaton vs Jeff Wasserman Vichy French winSuccessfully cleared the house on the left but didn't have enough firepower to clear all the French out of the houses on the right.
2017-06-10(D) Peter Palmer vs David Wilson Australian win
2017-06-05(D) Christian Knudsen vs Neil Andrews Australian winI misunderstood the VC, and set up to protect only the bridge, not the bridge and the village. Then I misunderstood the cavalry reinforcement entry areas. A sharp lesson to actually re-read the scenario card before every session.
2017-05-26(A) Rich Weiley vs Dave Longworth Australian winMy Aussies were unstoppable in this game.
2017-04-07(A) Eric Partizan Eric vs Australian win
2017-03-26(D) Ron Garcia vs Darryl M. Vichy French win
2017-03-09(D) Mark Drake vs John Brown Vichy French winGot lucky shots on his Aussies assaulting the buildings to slow him down and solidify buildings;used DFF to end game on turn 6 to keep him from trying to capture the bridge in last CCph.
