Is this the same a published here some time ago?

Is this the same a published here some time ago?

The answer is that the version posted here some time ago was a fan canon version that was used to create the final released version. However there are significant differences between the two

I edited the timeline both to make it flow better and to correct errors in it as well as to add new events, especially concerning the French and what happened with them in Djibouti and the Indian Ocean Islands

I added new French units and added a whole new section detailing the Rwandan Army and Air Force, which had not previously been there before

I updated the pictures section showing only those pictures that are free for use and removed others that are copyrighted - which you cannot have in a published for profit module

I removed some units, revised the makeup of others and added or edited back stories that previously were not there

Add maps to show the situation going on in the Congo and Tanzania including what areas the LRA, Rwanda, Kenya/US forces and the PARA control as well as a small French enclave

Updated the description and reasoning behind why the French assisted the LRA in taking over in Uganda and what they hoped to acheive

Gave more information on how the 2nd of the 2nd Armored got to Kenya and why CENTCOM sent them there when they arrived

Updated and revised the Somalists, LRA and Kenyan sections

Thus its the descendant of the original fan canon product - but its been changed greatly from its original version seen here three years ago - and whereas the old version was just fan canon the new one is official GDW/FFE canon for the Twilight 2000 game

Good job Olefin.

[TitusPullo]

Bought it, even though I have no one to play the game with

FYI the sourcebook has already sold a hundred copies in less than 4 days - that right there shows the continuing appeal of the game and the Twilight 2000 universe

Well that sounds to me you have to start on you second sourcebook if you first one is selling good.

Looking at several ideas for new ones - including possibly a collection of campaign ideas for use with East Africa Sourcebook - and hope this encourages others to submit their ideas too to Marc Miller

would like to know more about this

[Adm.Lee]

I bought mine, it looks good. Congrats again, Olefin!

Honestly theres alot of content on here that should be submitted, in all seriousness. The cavalry and bicycle PDF for example, is one of my favorites. And the hexgrid map and index? How did all you older players make it without that!?

Thanks but there would be issues with the illustrations - if anyone has royalty free images that could be used please let me know (all will be credited)

[Olefin]

That was one issue I had to solve with my book - in the end had to reject images I would have loved to have used of the Kenyan Army (including great pics of their tanks and aircraft) because they werent freely available - thats why you can see clear differences in picture choices between the fan canon and actual released approved canon book

what is fine for a non-profit non-official fan canon book is definitely not allowed for a for-profit canon release
