Panzer Grenadier (Modern): 1967 – Sword of Israel: Soviet Airborne is an expansion for Panzer Grenadier (Modern): 1967 – Sword of Israel: The Six Day War released in 2017 for 1–2 players and ages 12 and up. It was designed by Michael Bennighof and its main mechanics are Dice Rolling and Hexagon Grid.
This is the twenty-second of the Avalanche Press Golden Journal supplements. It contains 24 additional counters as well as additional scenarios. [Includes] a battalion of Soviet paratroopers to battle the Israelis in the threatened but never executed intervention into the Six Day War. The Soviet Army's 103rd Guards Airborne Division is a well-trained and well-armed outfit, in the midst of preparations for the Dnepr 1967 exercises - a complete contrast to the Arab armies the Israelis face in the standard scenarios in 1967: Sword of Israel. The Soviet parachute battalion of 1967 is very much a light infantry outfit - air-droppable armored carriers would only start to arrive the next year, converting the airborne formations into far more capable all-arms units. To make up for that lack, the battalion wields a large number of support weapons: Sagger anti-tank missiles, heavy mortars, recoilless rifles and the diminuitive ASU-85 assault gun.
