    I had a idea about CivGov sending the CIA to toppling Liberian president Charles Taylor, setting up shop there and create Air Africa (a CIA air unit) and the Special Activities Division Africa (SADA) among others who operate against Soviet and MilGov forces in Africa.

    Example of this could be:

    A paramilitary team belonging to CIA Special Activities Division Africa (SADA) operating out of Liberia enters the neighboring country of Guinea to hunt renaming Soviet forces who had survived the United States nuclear attack on the Soviet air and naval bases in Conakry,Guinea.

      I keep tinkering my way through a Caribbean Sourcebook.

      I have also been working on one for the (mostly ex-)Crowned Heads of Europe - the monarchs or pretenders to all thrones of Europe and their heirs. Includes a brief history of the monarchies and usually how they became ex. In these T2K times of uncertainly, might not a king be better than shadowy ideologues Can you not trust the King of Spain to look out for all of Spain

      Includes Britain, Scotland, Spain, Portugal, France, Belgium, Holland, Germany (Hanover, Bavaria and Prussia), Austria, Hungary, Poland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Russia, Rumania, Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Greece, Turkey, and Italy.

              There is a translation of several pieces of the (Finn) Scandinavian Sourcebook. Search this forum; it's in three pieces. I'll post what I put together.

                There is a lot of T2K information about North America, the Middle East and quite a few European countries from GDW sources and quite a few alternative write-ups.

                Areas that could do with some expansion is probably down to the individual and what they are interested in.

                For me I would like to see more information on the Soviet Union, China, France, the Korea's and Japan. Other regions of interest to me would be Australia/New Zealand and the Pacific islands, the Caribbean and South Africa. Also I would like to see more information about naval warfare.

                About 12 years ago I put up a T2K writeup about France on one of the 2300ad sites and got a lot of stick for it. I've been tinkering with a German sourcebook for years and have large chunks of it completed but am always re-writing it and changing thinks. It may never be completed.

                    I got some ideas that I am going to bounce off Olefin. They were written when I was a kid, but now I think I can do a lot better with it. And there is another one that came to mind with regards to a certain piece of American History.

                      South Africa is at least partially covered by my sourcebook as to how it got involved in the Twilght War but there is still lots there to cover. The nuke attacks on it and how they replied, their involvement in thr Great War of Africa, how they drove the Cubans out of Angola and that they invaded Namibia and Zimbabwe are part of the canon now. But that leaves a lot left over to describe and write about still.

                        If the whole world was in a shooting war.. what would be great to cover, is what were they doing or collecting while they were natural. they had a few year () of watching and and maybe learning learning. beside how many damaged ships and planes would divert to SA. were they "interred" or returned to there owners. think about about it. a Tango class sub or November takes damage attacking a convoy and limps into Cape Town or Port Elizabeth what do you do. both sides would want it badly....Now this just struck me how big of a city can that reactor power

                          remember the South Africans are playing both sides of the street - i.e. they are a US ally but they also are courting the French as well - meaning they joined the US in the war only because the Soviets nuked their refineries - so it was more like the enemy of my enemy is my friend - but they also know that the French are the up and coming power for sure and that the US is on the wane, at least for now

                              In the Twilight War I doubt it. More likely its worse than ever as the pro-Apartheid White and likeminded South African population will be armed to the teeth and not a bit worried about world opinion as most of the rest of the world is a lot worse off than South Africa.

                                Actually they ended it because of the war - they were already moving towards ending it before the war but the shock of the nuclear strikes on the country and the realization of how Africa's nations were falling apart showed the white leaders of the country that they had two choices - keep it going and watch South Africa descend into total chaos as so many other nations had or end it in the name of national unity and survival. And with the world falling apart the argument for ending it was very persuasive indeed.
