What if...
October 1973, the Israelis move to completely destroy the war making potential of Egypt and Syria. U.N pressure for a cease fire is ignored and the Americans are not pulling their supply plug (yet).
The Israeli plan is simple: Stay out of built up areas as much as possible. Systematically destroy all military and most civilian infrastructure. Damasus and Cairo are nearly surrounded, Israeli armoured columns are grinding towards Aleppo and Alexandria. Civilian casualties are climbing. Some desperate Egyptian units / militias are fighting under Islamic banners.
What happens next? Do the Soviets truly have the ability to save their quasi allies?, Will the U.S. risk a confrontation, How long can both nations resist? Do they have the skills to counter attack? Do hard core Islamacists fill the void in both nations? If so, what happens in the future?
