Entebbe is Ready. - Get it now!

[WBWilder]

Yes, I do, Busko. Hold on, I'll get 'em for you.

Correct Mark, I had to have the A0 unit way in the corner but sounds like the frisky little devil would not stay put.

Yes, the game does offer some unusual tools, though I confess I spent many (Underline many!) hours working on this one.

First I had to find out just what I could and coult not do.
Then I had to carve the units, equipping and numbering them properly.
Third came the timing, the key timing where it is possible to do it all with no mistakes. Make one, only one, and you may be in real trouble. But you'll see. I don't want to spill the beans.

Its good that you've done the dry run. you'll be very glad that you did once you go into real action.

Thanks for the kind words. Okay Busco, let's see what I got.

There are a few of them out there but this one I found very informative.

And here is another:

There are a number of books on the theme. Check Amazon.com looking under Books, Entebbe to see what is there. A lot of my info came from the book "Daring to Win: Special Forces at War," by David Eshel.

Oh, one more thing. If you take long enough for that A0 Terrorist unit to appear, you'll need to speed things up a bit. You want all civilians out of there by turn 7 latest! Sooner if you can. Oops, loose lips sink Ships. I'll say no more.

Thanks WBW, i'll look for the books and the links!

It can be done...

[halstein]

Played trough the Entebbe scenario. It is one of the best SP2/SPMBT/winSPMBT I have played. Did a little worse than the real Israelis. Lost no hostages, but only killed about half of the terrorist (but got some of Amin's guys too). Lost the Mercedes and 6 men.

Great job, Wild Bill!

I'm still losing hostages . Glad to know that it's possible to avoid it, so I'm going to give it another try.

[WBWilder]

Thank you so much, Halstein! I really appreciate that. I love to play this one. I do it over and over again, trying different tactics to get the job done.

One can quickly see (as Mark and I both have) that you can lose hostages. It is a very tight, tense scenario, watching the clock and watching the roadways, plus looking over your shoulder for those evil Palestinian terrorists who attack with a vengeance.

You'll get it done, Mark. Historically a few hostages were killed so I'll allow you that. Just avoid any sort of vicious slaughter. Losing one group of hostages can really hurt you.

Taking out those terrorists is a good way to get points.

But DON'T take too long to do it all. (Easy for you to say, Wild Bill!)
