Both the Korea and East Africa sourcebooks and the Rooks Gambit adventures are excellent examples of what can be achieved.
What would be interesting to see is more vehicle books by Tegyrius similar to the LAV-25 one, it covered a number of variants, unit organisation and individual vehicles combat service. Depending on what vehicles is included in the initial books it could see this being a welcome addition for people looking for something similar to the various vehicle guides that were produced for V1 and V2 and Czech Your Engine that came out for Twilight 2013.

That is exactly my concern with fan produced material - at the very least they should have a process to have it vetted before hand. I.e. I didnt just publish my sourcebook on drivethrurpg.com
I sent it to Marc who reviewed it and told me that some changes were needed to make it canon, that there had to be certain copyright statements, some general appearance and layout changes (i.e. he wanted a different font size and spacing changes). I made the changes sent it back and it was approved.
If they will be depending on fan canon - especially given its a new timeline and new Twilight War - then that needs to be taken into account. As well as making sure those with agendas dont make something that is wildly out of sync with the actual official canon.
That was one thing Marc made clear when I started to submit it - that it had to follow the canon if it was going to be published as an official release and that no matter my feelings on Howling Wilderness or other releases that those were canon - but that I could expand the canon wherever possible as long as it didnt directly conflict with it.
I hope that similar rules are put in place and vetting procedures so that we can get good quality fan canon for everyone's enjoyment - even to things such as please use this font, use this spacing, use this layout, etc. - and I mean vetted by Tomas and Chris
