With these tank killers, armor is suddenly frail, and range isn't as important a factor as line of sight. Similarly, some of the later scenarios portray the introduction of helicopters. However, these aren't the deadly gunships that prowl today's battlefields.
Early on, helicopters were mainly airborne troop transports that afforded infantry unprecedented mobility. With helicopters, you can quickly waltz right over an otherwise invulnerable line of defenders. New antiair units are provided to trump the helicopters. Most of the game plays like World War II on a desert palette.
This isn't necessarily inaccurate, but there's little sign of the effort that went into making Rising Sun, the previous game in the series, look and feel like a new game in a new place. Part of the problem is that the actual battles are the least interesting part of the situation in the Middle East. Whether it's or , the pattern is consistent--the Israeli Defense Force marshals its superior training and equipment and beats up on surprised Arab armies. It doesn't make for a very compelling wargame, and it doesn't accurately reflect the complexity of the situation for a far more interesting take on events, you'll have to revisit SSI's port of the board game Line in the Sand, which is all about the delicate, shifting geopolitical balance in the Middle East.
But having said that, Divided Ground does what it can to make an interesting wargame out of a lopsided situation. There were some significant military moments in these wars, and you'll find some of them here. There's the triumphant taking of Jerusalem in There's the bloody fighting against Syria in the hotly contested rough terrain of the Golan Heights.
One of the most fascinating scenarios details current Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's insubordinate attack on Mitla Pass in the campaign in Sinai. Most of the scenarios are played from the Israeli side. To temper Israel's military advantage, a lot of them rely on cheap handicapping tricks, like limited visibility or narrow time limits.
One epic battle to root Syrians out of the Golan Heights plays like a frustrating puzzle mission in which you have to navigate a maze of minefields and hard-to-see escarpments.
It's like a guessing game--"Is that an embankment or an escarpment? And there are some scenarios that feel like filler. Who wants to mop up a force of Palestinian militia hunkered down in a coastal town?
Who wants to control a group of disorganized Egyptians behind some hastily erected defenses? One of the most puzzling missions is a nighttime Egyptian commando raid--here, the minimum range of the commando's weapons is three hexes, but the maximum visibility is two hexes.
The result is a bunch of troops traipsing around on the beach with absolutely no way to shoot at anything. Were the Egyptians really that incompetent, or did someone at TalonSoft just forget to play-test the scenario?
