and thats the difference between me writing new canon modules and sourcebooks versus writing fan canon that isnt going to be official - when I released the East Africa Sourcebook officially as a GDW product it became canon - so I cant just ignore previous canon as I could with, for instance, the Olefin universe timeline that I did for quite a while (which included my GM changing the Last Submarine to have the sub use nukes on Ploesti as he did when we played the game back in the 80's)
I did create new formations - but most of them were ones that Frank had in his notes he posted here about what would have been in his Kenya module if he had released it - with my own touches like bringing the 2nd Armored to Africa (since after Omega there are zero canon mentions of that division it allowed me to stay in canon with that change - whereas if the canon had mentioned them in Iran or Virginia in April of 2001 then I wouldnt have been able to do that) and the full detailing of the Kenyan, Rwandan and LRA Orbats along with detailing the French units in Eastern Africa (many of which had already been mentioned in the RDF)
