There is a documentary called "Empire of Dust" that the "It's all so tiresome" meme comes from. The film shows the futility and frustration that the Chinese logistics worker, Lao, experiences while trying to rebuild a crumbling road with local workers. The contract required that the workers be native Congolese, but they quickly run into difficulties because they don't take the work seriously and instead steal from the company. Workers stand around aimlessly, gravel crushers sit idle, loaders can't count, people steal gasoline and fuel, and they often quit mid-shift. The entire documentary is basically just them trying to get some gravel, against the backdrop of a crumbling society with defunct railroads, abandoned infrastructure. At the end of the film, as the gravel was delivered, they lamented the fact that billions were spent on the Congo without any return on that investment. The locals said that it's only a matter of time before even the Chinese will give up on them. The film ends with Lao speaking... "On payday, the men go crazy. Two days later, they come asking to loan them money. They don't hold their drink that well, they just like drinking. They stand at the bar drinking a beer and then start shaking their behinds. It's wonderful" 11 years after the film aired, the 296-kilometer National Road 1 was completed, but many of the road projects still face major maintenance issues, potholes, and quality problems. Some areas experience modernization and urbanization, but again, entirely dependent on Chinese investments. Today, in 2026, the core structural situation, cultural issues, and the dependency dynamic are still exactly the same. So yes... no matter what help is given to them, what is built for them, it eventually degrades and collapses.

What i wish more wargames tackled is how communication is a luxury. I don't just mean active interference, but Turnip28 style casual failure to receive orders and having ways to mitigate that. Plus, the threat of RNG is a great way to force players into taking command units
