Something happened involving Hala'ib and Egypt invaded me. We fought a large tank battle that I obviously lost, being Sudan, and Khartorum was surrounded. Bashir committed suicide, but suddenly I found myself with the backing of several other powers, most notably South Africa, which began sending me those domestic Centurion knockoffs they made for a while, and the war continued in earnest, ending inconclusively when the round fell apart for unrelated reasons (which I do not recall).

It's been fifteen or sixteen years since then, but I'm back, Sudan. Did you miss me?

Holy shit I ran an Africa nation sim around that time. I was South Africa and ran it, almost every player immediately instituted extreme measures to fight or contain AIDS. I remember Egypt throwing a tantrum because their tanks were LEET and shouldn't take casualties.

This may have been the same game. Did you give Sudan a bunch of Centurion knockoffs to fight the Egyptians with?

How would your crews even know how to drive them?
