Since ancient times the Mideast has witnessed continuous clashes between religions, cultures and nations. Israel's reestablishment in 1948 attracted refugees from the world over but also generated much resentment. For the next sixty years conflicts would rage with Israel at the center. 1956, '67 & '73 would be years of major conflict and are all covered in this title. Additionally actions in Lebanon ('82) and assorted strikes in '85, '06 & '07 are also covered. The violent Mideast chariot clashes continue thousands of years after the Biblical era, but modern chariots now flash across the sky trailing fire and raining down thunder and lightning on the enemy below.

This series was one of John Tiller's favorites, and one he worked extensively on and over the years with the US Air Force. The lead scenario designer for the series was Mo Morgan, who also worked with the Air Force in managing the use of these applications in their environment. You can read a bit more about that in the Design Notes.
