I was first attracted to these conflicts because of
the armor battles and mix of both modern and WW2 vehicles on the
same battlefield. While infantry played a tremendous part in many
battles, I tend to focus on the armored conflicts in 1/285th scale.
One of my first games in this period is depicted below.
Early in the battle, Israeli M48s attack and are barely
visible in the upper left portion of the image. Egyptian BTR50s
can be seen west of the village, while Egyptian tanks are deployed
south of the village.

as seen from the east.
View from of the village from the west taken around
the same time as the photo above. The Israeli M48s are still just
dark bumps in the distance.
The Israeli M48s eventually clashed with a small Egyptian
force protecting the north flank of the village, the flank collapsed,
and the Egyptians could not reposition quickly enough to counter
the Israeli forces.
Terrain and buildings are scratchbuilt, vehicles are
GHQ and CinC, Infantry is H&R.
