October 9, 1973*

Your efforts smashed the Syrian offensive.  Due to heavy losses in men and tanks, the Syrian Army shifted its forces farther north.  Intel indicates that the Syrian 9th Mechanized Division and 16th Tank Brigade are now probing towards the town of Naffak.  Intel also reports that the Syrians are now using anti-tank missiles in our sector, so be wary of them.  Your orders are to engage the 9th and delay them as long as possible.
