Israeli IndependenceTabletop Tuesdays: The Arab-Israeli War of 1948-49 | Submitted by costik on Tue, 01/27/2009 - 00:26. |
The Arab-Israeli War of 1948-49 is called the "war of independence" (from the British) by the Israelis -- and the "Nakba" or "catastrophe" by the Palestinians. Israeli Independence is, however, a single-player board wargame by Darin A. Leviloff in which, as the Israelis, you must attempt to fight off the converging armies of Jordan, Egypt, Syria, Iraq, and Lebanon and achieve the Jewish Homeland.
