Are there some good games on the subject? Could be 1948, 1956, 1967 or 1973. Thanks
I know there's John Tiller's MidEast '67 game from HPS. Is it good? Any others? I didn't see anything on steam nor gog.
This is one of the Campaign series titles. I have it, and found to be it quite enjoyable.

I have not played it yet, but the very first computer game about the Arab Wars was Southern Command (Nov 1981), by SSI. In 1991 they would have Conflict Middle East, which I did not play either.
So I cannot recommand them, but at least you have some names.
The Star and the Crescent by Shrapnel Games and Six Days 1967 from the Wars Across the World system come to mind.
Of course there will be scenarios in SPMBT and TOAW series.

The Campaign series one is pretty good. I think these wars are not very well covered in computer games. In boardgames there are the air war game
Elusive Victory is enlightening and I think Starkweather (designer of the Grand tactical and
other games including the Greatest Day and Monteliemar ) is working on an Arab-Israeli 1973 game.
I was going to say TOAW 4 has some scenarios.
The Middle East '67 game is good if you like the Panzer/Campaigns style, which I do. This one has battles from 1956, 1967, 1973, 1982, and a hypothetical 2004 campaign. I don't think you would be disappointed.
Thanks for the recommandations. Had forgotten about the game from Shrapnet Games. Will check these games out.

Thanks for the shouts :)
Campaign Series: Middle East 1948 - 1985 indeed covers the mentioned eras and wars, with some real and what-if conflicts from 1980s as well. It is in its 2.0 version at the moment, with a free 3.0 update on the books once Campaign Series: Vietnam is out.

How is this? It looks fairly simple.

Not very good, unfortunately.

I agree. I picked this up on sale last year or so and only played it once. Got boring very fast.
Ron Dockal did a quite comprehensive one for the Mid East War published by Schwerpunkt...
