Hi All, On a 1 to 1 scale does anyone happen to know the orginization of the israli armored recon company for 1967? I did have one it was in WRG 1950 - 1975 rules but those rules left when I went to the hospital last time long boring story. Also what exterior colr was israli armored force's painted in 1967? Thank for any help anyone can give. |

Some discussion at 87th.org.il.
Search on "Israeli armored reconnaissance company organization."
And look for images 73 war. _________________ All blessings flow from a good mission statement.

I didn't see any detailed organization info, but this is a pretty interesting read about the development of reconnaissance units and there is a section on Israeli recon.

I have some old SPI wargame magazines that I inherited. I'll dig through them and see if there is any info on the Israelis. _________________ "Artillery lends dignity to what would otherwise be a vulgar brawl".

I checked my stash of Strategy and Tactics, but the only thing I found was from the 1973 war and it only mentioned recon companies of 20 jeeps. Sorry. _________________ "Artillery lends dignity to what would otherwise be a vulgar brawl".

The Israelis are reluctant to discuss or publish much about their organization. _________________ All blessings flow from a good mission statement.

I forgot where I found this but it was handwritten in my wargaming notebook:
Israeli Armored Recon Battalion
Bn HQ
3 Tanks, 4 APCs
Recon Company x 3
HQ
1 Tank, 2 APCs
Tank Platoon x 2
3 Tanks
Mech Infantry Platoon x 2
3 APCs
3 Squads each with
2 MG
1 Mortar
1 Bazooka
Recon Company
HQ
2 Jeeps, 2 Trucks, 2 MGs
Recon Platoon x 4
4 MG Jeeps, 1 Mortar
I believe this was for the 73 war, but I suspect that for 67 you could substitute AMX 13s or jeeps with recoilless rifles for the tanks and halftracks for the APCs and you wouldn't be too far off. _________________ Tactics are the opinion of the senior officer present. |
