Am I the only one who just uses the original timeline but spins it back to the 80's
If you set the Twilight war between 1986 and 1989 it just works. Most of the kit fits perfectly, just ditch stuff like the G11.
I never understood the fixation with keeping it in the 90's when it works so much better from an 80's perspective. The guys behind the Team Yankee game figured this out, setting the game in 1985.
My gaming group has even started mixing the two together in our Twilight 2000 games, using Team Yankee rules to play out large scale encounters.

True, except the name of game, Twilight 2000, doesn't really make sense if the game is set in the late 1980s.

Yeah, Twilight 1990 doesn't have the same ring to it but could rename the game to "The Twilight War" or summat similar. Either way, setting it in the 80's works in every single way. The original timeline fits, all the kit from the sourcebooks work etc.

Nothing happens in isolation - it's called "the butterfly effect"
