Third Lebanon War: 2024 scenario

Though there is still considerable fighting going on throughout Gaza, it appears that the Israeli Defense Forces may be preparing (or at least have been planning and presumably modelling) a large scale incursion into southern Lebanon to destroy Hezbollah. For example:

What a War Between Israel and Hezbollah Might Look Like

Therefore, in that spirit of game-based journalism I often invoke, I have written a rough 2024 scenario for Third Lebanon War, bearing in mind that Hezbollah is much stronger than it was in the 2010s. Feel free to alter its parameters as you interpret the situation while it unfolds.

Go to the Free Games! page, scroll down to almost the bottom, and download the files for Third Lebanon War with the new scenario guide.

If you have already downloaded this game, you will want to also get the 3 November 2023 rules, charts and Cascading Effects table as these have had some changes and clarifications added.

I will also be making a very limited number of physical copies of this game available for sale, probably fewer than 10. They feature a very nice map printed on heavy paper with art by Ilya Kudriashov, and two full-sheet stickers of counters for you to mount yourself (again, with Ilya’s artwork). Contact me by email if you would like to buy one of these: price is $25 US funds (via Paypal), which includes postage to anywhere on this planet.
