Hi 

I just downloaded the AIW data book 2. Very good so far!  And I have a question on some of the stats/info. 

 

On the Egyptian equipment table the OM2 stat for the T54A/B, T55A/B just has 2 no plus or minus. Which is it?

 

TO&E Jordan Armored Regiment

 

Tank Squadron (3)(Sqd A, B, C)

Squadron HQ

Command Stand (Sqn CO) (1)

Command Stand (Sqn XO) (1)

Jeep (1)

Tanks (2)

 

Tank Troops (4)

Command tank (Tp CO) (1)

Tank (1)

 

I read this as a tank Sqd HQ(company HQ) has 2 tanks and each Trp (platoon) has 2 tanks for a total of 10 tanks in each Sqd. 

 

Thanks

Jim

Jim,

 

Hello!   Thank you for purchasing ODGW Arab/Israeli Wars Databook vol. 2 1967

Congratulations!  You are the first to discover the "easter eggs" {ahem..} in the book!!  Well done.

 

Now that I can claim to be human and deduct the pay from my editors...  Yes, there is a typo in the Egyptian chapter.  I have corrected the missing "+" characters in the OM2 column for the T-54 vehicles.

 

As for the Tank Squadron, yes you are correct.  10 tanks per squadron.  2x per Sqdr HQs and 2x per Sqdr Trp  (4x Trps = 8 tanks plus 2x per Sqdr Hqs = 10 tanks total).

 

I'll get the updates posted to the Private DL soonest and post in the forum.

 

 

Thanks

Thank you, Kenny! 

Any idea when/if a Yom Kippur war supplement will be released?

All,

 

I've made the updates as noted above in the private download library.  The full databook download has been updated.  Additionally, a single sheet replacement page are available to download, print and replace in your current book.  Thank Jim for the catch.

Thank you, Kenny!

Yes, An Arab / Israeli Wars Databook vol. 3 1973 is planned.   Time TBD.

 

Just a crystal ball look in the future...  (no dates or order are set to these projects)

• Scenario Pack #1 World War II
• Scenario Pack #2 Post War 1946 - 1956
• Ukraine / Russia Databook 2022 - 2023
• Arab / Israeli Wars Databook vol. 3 1973
• Scenario Pack #3 War of the Worlds

 

Just some ideas we're bouncing off the walls....
