While somewhat realistic (they get done to them what they've been doing to the Israelis in the war so far -- the Israelis didn't even get operational BGM-71s until the main offensive phase of the 1973 war were done with), it's not "exciting" for the Egyptian player to hit their head on a wall.
Plus, if the Egyptian military was competent enough to win in this timeline on October 14-15, 1973 where they failed; they'd be competent enough to know that US troops have many ATGMs, unlike the Israelis, and they'd counter it.

moving a BDRM prompted a TOW launch and the messages were good. No Jumble, so you solved that very well

FYI, it appears that the "Summon Cthulthu" jumble is from a malformed text string in the unit names; so if you ever run into that problem elsewhere, check the scenario's unit names to see if they were corrupted somehow, before you start digging into 20,000,000 lines of spaghetti code.
