1973 Flames of War: The Yom Kippur War



I'm blowed if I can get Blogger to upload word documents, but i wanted a link on this blog to the Yom Kippur War Rules. So the solution is to copy the page on my old blog, NDCblog at Wordpress and repost it here. Let's hope it works.
With the blessing of the author of these lists, Owen Heather, this page is a resource for any wargamers who would like to use the Flames of War rules for more Modern conflicts. In this particular case the Arab-Israeli wars of 1967 – 1973, and with a focus on the Yom Kippur conflict/October War/Ramadan War.
Two caveats.
One is that these rules were written for second edition and thus points costs have not yet been adjusted for third edition. Neihter Owen nor myself has yet taken them through their paces for third edition.
The second is that Owen has put quite a bit of work into these lists and you are free to download them to your heart’s content.  All documents are in word so you can play around with them, but please respect where they have come from and let us know if you come up with good ideas in your playtesting through the comments section on this blog.
Thanks, and I hope that they allow you many hours of enjoyable gaming.
Nate and Owen

    I actually put my own Rules as PDF's then on Google Drive, Share them as a Link.

    Then just add the Link to your site...It's a bit labour intensive but circumvents the problem hosting files.

      No problem, although I have to say that the credit really belongs to Owen who compiled the lists and had them ready to go. All I've done is playtest them and add a few ideas for tweaks here and there.

    Thank you very much for putting up/sharing these FOW Modern Files!! I look forward to trying them out hopefully later this week. Great blog by the way too! And I fully agree that repainting those wonderful WOC rubber Star Wars guys add absolutely nothing to their fun value - they are just perfect the way they are (and they remind me of the glorious Britains Super Deetails that I played with as a kid and enjoy even more now).
