It took the Israeli army six days in June 1967 to destroy the armies of their neighbours. And one of the pivotal battles centered around an old Turkish desert fort of An-Nakhl. To commemorate this conflict and celebrate the imminent return of the Desert Fort, Battlefront are having a Battle of An-Nakhl’ Arab-Israeli War Sale.

For a little over two weeks the price of all Arab-Israeli War boxes and blisters will be reduced by 40%.

The price of shipping will be capped during the sale to a maximum of:

US$10 / €8 / £5

(Plus US$10/€8/£5 for each Desert Fort and Ruins included in your order – the Desert Forts will be shipped separately, and are such large, bulky items it would be too costly to include them in the capped shipping.)

What was the Battle of An-Nakhl?

After punching through the Arab defences at Abu Ageila, General Ariel Sharon’s 14th Mechanised Brigade raced towards An-Nakhl and the Mitla Pass to cut off the retreating Arab forces before they reached the Suez Canal. General Shazli’s armoured Task Force reached the old Turkish fort at An-Nakhl first, holding it long enough for the Arabs to slip out of the Israelis’ grasp.

The fighting around the fortress is a perfect chance to use the fantastic Battlefield in a Box Desert Fort, with its unique special rules, which can be found here…
