Scenario for the series of Latrun Battles. Operations include:

Operation Maccabi
Operation Bin Nun Alef
Operation Bin Nun Bet
Burma Road
Operation Yoram

You will probably need to read the Wikipedia article to bring yourself up to speed. You will see the reinforcements are spaced out to reflect each stage but you could play it straight through as you liked other than removing the initial Givati brigades after turn 6-8 as they were pulled out to face the Egyptians in the south.

The key to the events is that when the Givati brigades move out, they leave the Lutran Fort empty which the Arabs then occupy. The Isrealis then later make multiple assaults trying to take it back which they never do.

Also, the Harel brigades stay in the east to guard Jerusalem.

Hopefully there is enough here to play the whole series of battles through.
