CONSUMER ALERT: These products, which are typically available only for high prices on E-bay, are of extremely poor quality and most ASLers would find them more or less unusable. There appears to have been little to no proofreading, rules development or playtesting. See the review of One Wild Ride for a more extended look at one of these products. THESE ARE VERY POOR PRODUCTS; BUYER BEWARE.
See entries on Glory & Grief I and One Wild Ride for general comments that would also apply here.
With this product, Bill Wilder and Tom Tietz announce the “first of the Arab-Israeli series,” which frighteningly promises more to come. This particular item threatens promises to bring players to the 1967 Arab-Israeli war with scenarios featuring Israelis, Egyptians, Palestinians, and Jordanians. Google the Hebrew or Arab equivalent of “Caveat Emptor” and keep it in mind.

I don’t know what your problem is with these guys. I’ve purchased several of their variants and I think the quality is excellent. You’d be better off just playing your games and not worrying about what everyone else in the world is doing. Who appointed you the hobby watchdog anyway?

This is his site, he pays the bill, so he can say what he wants. Last time I checked you wwere not forced to read the article. I for one think these products are trash and so does everyone in my group. Take Care
