Crossing the Line of Death (The War That Never Was) NATO, 1989

The two most powerful militaries in North Africa, Libya and Egypt, were not necessarily aligned with either NATO or the Warsaw Pact. Libya was theoretically a Soviet client state, but the Libyan dictator Qaddafi was notorious for placing his self-preservation above all else. Meanwhile, the United States spent many billions of dollars in aide to convince Egypt to join the western sphere of influence. This scenario, based upon the book The War That Never Was by Michael A. Palmer, begins with the neutrality of Libya and Egypt in doubt. Will Qaddafi side with the Soviets? Can the US cash in all those Egyptian I. O. U.s? This is a medium-sized scenario that features heavy air combat and coordinated air strikes.
