I may be able to help here, I run a mini-photography business in my spare time (ha!) and one of my projects is to create pics suitable for Twilight 2000. I'm quite happy for these to be used with attribution and can even edit shots to look more like the original edition if required (I STILL have great fun identifying the original pics!). If anyone is doing anything coming up for publication drop me a line and I can see what I have or can arrange to shoot.

James, those images are amazing. They incorporate a large taste of the artwork of the original release.

Somewhere between this one and the previous ones. Although either looks good.

Inspired by art in the BYB - The Battle of Berlin 1997

The images I've been using in my Twilight 1964 booklet, not that that's ever going to be published, have been coming from state archives mostly. Some National Guards have great photo collections either through the state archives (New Jersey) or Flickr (Georgia). If you want to go for a B&W 80's and 90's feel with a creative commons license. Not sure what if you could charge for anything with them in though.

at the site it says - U.S. Air Force Red Horse engineers quickly erect a tent city at Tuzla Air Base, Bosnia and Herzegovina, on Dec. 31, 1995. The hard backed tents will be used to house U.S. Army and Air Force troops at Tuzla Air Base. The engineers are from the 823rd Red Horse Civil Engineering Squadron, Hurlburt Field, Fla. For the game you could do something like - soldiers from the 42nd Infantry Division building their winter quarters in 1999 |

There's a couple of interesting photos in the following collection that could be useful for the "pencil shading" treatment
http://www.pettyandposh.com/remember...age-slideshow/ Just don't read the captions, you'll come away convinced that the author of the article is a dumb person writing dumb comments for dumb people - and that's me trying to be polite, they range from the laughable comment that napalm is "a harsh chemical that severely burns the skin" to the mind-boggling absurd comment "The dense jungles allowed the native soldiers to hide from the inexperienced American soldiers. For this reason, machine gun raids were needed to provide cover for foot soldiers." How the hell do you carry out a "machinegun raid"? And just what the hell is a "machinegun raid"? |

another one that I found that would be perfect for anything to do with the US border patrol or operations along the Mexican border from the US Dept of Defense

Here you go...
|
#52
|
|||
|

and this one - I might well use this for either the cavalry or US Border Guards articles
|
#53
|
|||
|
|||
I was thinking that when I saw it - would be a great way to have a US general be introduced as well into either article

Any idea on the unit patches?

Looks good but what about the uniforms? The ACU picutred wasn't introduced until after 2003-ish (in the real world). It's an anachronism in both v1.0 and v2 T2K. Even with the black-and-white shading effects, you can pick out ACU features that the earlier U.S. BDUs didn't have.
I realize that this is probably nitpicking and that most GMs/players don't care about kit minutiae, but some might.

Here is a good one for almost anywhere - it was taken in Korea in 1998
"Soldiers assigned to C Troop of the 4th Squadron, 7th Cavalry Regiment drive an M-113A1 Armored Personnel Carrier to the live fire range at the Korea Training Center, Republic of Korea, on Oct. 25, 1998. Armored units use the range to meet yearly, live gunnery training requirements." |

and another good one from Bosnia
A U.S. Army soldier communicates with his headquarters as another soldier monitors the radio while on a security patrol near the town of Sljoke, Bosnia and Herzegovina, on Jan. 16, 1996, during Operation Joint Endeavor. The soldiers are patrolling the area in a M3-A2 Bradley Fighting Vehicle as part of the NATO Implementation Force (IFOR). The troops are deployed from the 1st Cavalry, Budingen, Germany. https://www.defense.gov/Photos/Photo...to/2001237170/ The archive photos at the Defense.Gov site are the oldest ones and the ones most likely useful for V1 or V2 |
