Smooth Bordeaux, 1964

In 1963, the government of Togo was overthrown in a military coup and its President assassinated. At the time, several African nations refused to recognize the new military government in Togo. This scenario assumes that tensions between France and Togo increased significantly in the months following the coup. Reprisals resulting from these tensions aimed at French nationals living in Togo have resulted in the brutals murders of several individuals, including three French nuns who were running a rural hospital outside of Lome. The French government has sworn to take revenge on Togo for these "barbaric acts." Author's Note: It was necessary to assume that some outside power had provided Togo with additional military equipment. With only half-a-dozen MB326's, it was too easy for the French to win. Historically, Israel provided Togo with some military aid, but this was mostly in the form of training. For this scenario, Egypt was chosen because it seemed that, if tensions were rising in the region, Egypt was likely to be sympathetic to a small African nation in a dispute with a former colonial power like France.
