WHITE DOG GAMES
The Adventure of Board Game Development
Israel 1948 is an award-winning, brigade-level game simulating the 1948 Arab League invasion of the newly formed state of Israel. A two-player game, one player takes the Israeli side and the other player takes the Arab League side. There are three scenarios which cover the three historical periods of fighting, and there are special campaign rules to link two or all three scenarios together into a longer campaign game.
Scenario 1 "Onslaught": Covers the invasion of the new state of Israel after the British withdrawal from 15th May 1948 to the first truce of 11th June 1948.
Scenario 2 "Ten Days": Covers the Israeli counter-offensive from 9th to 18th July when there was the second truce.
Scenario 3: "End Game": Covers the fighting from October 1948 after the end of the second truce.
The game is designed for players who want to be able to learn, set up, and play a game to completion within a couple of hours.
