Cross Border Raid Scenario for IDF

This scenario models a cross-border raid during an insurgency in bush type terrain with a communist equipped insurgent force defending against a western-style government force. I thought this one up after reading a not very good book about Rhodesia, so you may see many Rhodesian influences in the scenario. For counters, I used IDF almost exclusively, although I borrowed other SA-313 counters from MBT.
