I don't think it's our intention to radically alter "canon", if we did we'd not have the 49th Armored Division in the US post-TDM. We really want to point a way to the future regarding the recovery plan. One way others may use of recovery plan is that it was the plan (and may be partially or poorly implemented, consequently ineffective) thus making it adaptable to many differing views of the US post 2001.
Regarding Wargaming the Twilight War, it is our intention to follow the general thrust of the war laid out by GDW. What we want to do is develop more comprehensive campaign histories for units, (all units, of all combatant nationalities). While there is potential that the wargaming will give us combat results which could serverely alter the the histories of key combat units outlined in "canon", we reserve the right to employ a "factor of fudge" to avoid a two radical deviation from GDW's original vision (we do retain our own internally inconsistant view of what defines "radical"). We just feel that having one paragraph to state the war history for a division is too vague.
