While modern jet fuel is a very specialised thing, a good rule of thumb for gas turbines is "If it's runny and it burns, you can run a gas turbine on it."
However, for the reasons given above, after a quite short time using the wrong fuel will degrade the engine badly. If you want to add aircraft to a campaign, small turboprops are a good idea; the DHC6 Twin Otter can use short, rough fields (I have landed one on a beach, in scheduled airline service), has a derated (less powerful, but even more reliable) version of the Pratt and Whitney PT6, carries a decent load (20 seats, or a comfortable 2 tonnes; up to 8 tonnes if you want to seriously overload it- and it will still fly!), or the turbine Islanders used by the British Army.
If you want to make aircraft possible in your T2k, but explain their absence, just remember how lethal the two sides' SAM networks were; the few aircraft left now are just too valuable to risk, with no guarantee that the SAMs are all used up...
