I had some things on Egypt in my East African Sourcebook that I put up on the forum earlier -
http://forum.juhlin.com/showthread.p...ht=east+africa
had several Egyptian refineries getting nuked by the Russians that had the effect of closing the southern end of the Suez Canal and wrecking Cairo and Alexandria in the process - and then then Libyans taking out the Aswan Dam in the process to add to the fun
i.e..
Dec 6, 1997
In Egypt, Cairo, Suez and Alexandria are left in
ruins by multiple strikes against the major
refineries in those cities. While the Suez Canal is
not directly targeted in the attack, the nuclear
strikes on the refineries at Suez effectively block
the southern end of the Canal with the wrecks of
several merchant ships and tankers. Over three
million Egyptians die in the attacks and another
two million are severely wounded.
December 9, 1997
Taking advantage of the chaos gripping Egypt,
Libya launches an attack by 10 Tu-22 bombers
against the Aswan Dam, hitting it repeatedly
until the center of the dam collapses, sending a
wall of water down the Nile, drowning over a
hundred thousand Egyptians and displacing tens
of thousands more. The attack destroys most of
what electrical power was still being generated
in Egypt after the nuclear attacks. Libyan tank
formations cross into Egypt and head east
against pitiful resistance.
I had the last operational refinery in Northern Africa being the small one at Wadi Feiran in the Sinai.
Used those attacks to explain the lack of Egyptian forces in the RDF or their being mentioned at all -i.e. basically the nuke attacks and the attack on Aswan has finished Egypt as a country along with most of their population.
