Israeli Reinforcements - A Blast From the PastBy Wayne Turner
One of the interesting things when we were developing the Centurion was trying to put as many extra bits and pieces on the frame as possible to future proof it for other projects. For those of you that have already looked at the Centurion plastic frame you can see there are a LOT of extra pieces on there – some for the recently announced Clash of Steel (and Leviathans), some for Nordic Forces and of course some for the Israelis. We didn’t want Israeli players to have to wait for an updated version of their book so we have put together this PDF for you to download. As a bonus, we’ve also included some updates to Israeli missile systems (much like in the recent NATO book) to give players a little extra firepower!
This doctrine was successfully demonstrated during the 1982 Operation ‘Peace for Galilee’ invasion of Lebanon. Combat in urban built-up areas have led to further modifications and updates of the IDF armoured corps combat doctrine. Updates were also made to equipment and weapons to suit battles in the urban environment.
Some battalions still operate the Sho’t (Whip) Centurion. These British tanks have been heavily upgraded since the wars of 1967 and 1973, with new American diesel engines and automatic transmissions giving them many mechanical components in common with the M60 Patton, or Magach 6 as the IDF call them, and the new Merkava tanks.
