I see from Mark's blog that the IDF cowers at the military might of the PFJ. Which reminds me, there is a bit of errata need to the Rock the Casbah supplement.
On page 17 under the PLO factions/militias the following needs to be added (at least for this project). People's Front of Judea - A radical anti-Western (Roman) group that is small (offically I believe five members) and appears to be against (hates) everybody in the PLO movement. Reference
The PFJ has one force trained and ready to do combat with a second force in training.
All one needs to do is look at our firepower to understand that the IDF is no threat to the PFJ.
A barely used BTR40, a gift from the Syrians.
A brand new (ok it has oil) BTR152 from our friends in the Soviet Union.
Here is a platoon of PLO militia ready (?) to meet the IDF on the roads to Beirut. The figures are from Peter Pig’s Range 17 line. The platoon has three sections with three AK47s and an RPG. The headquarters has a Big Man and a sniper.
While the PLO is heavily armed, they are weak in command as most of the leadership headed north to Beirut or east to the Bekaa.
There is a much larger IDF force and a Syrian Commando Team based and primed.
