April 1942 - fictional
His Highness the Mufti of Jerusalem is ready to lead his people in an uprising against the british occupation forces, as soon as our spearheads reach El Arish. Expediantcy is of absolute importance in this delicate operation. If we are too slow, the US will be able to bolster the british counteroffensive allready in progress. There is no airport in reasonable range to give you immediate airsupport, except some italian airsupport by general Gariboldi is on its way. But they are too few to play much of a difference. The airport at El Arish has to be your primary target.
