"Once again, I suggest actually doing a little research on the terrain and military history of the region before making sweeping and uneducated statements.
We're not talking about short ranged patrols of a day or two by a relatively small unit, but long term operations of weeks and months by battalions and brigades."

First off you have not said that to me before

Second insults wont get you anywhere

Third I was referring basically to patrol like short offensives by small units or Special Forces - not a long term sustained one.

One area I haven't seen mentioned is southern Europe. We know from the original timeline the Greeks (with Italian support? I'm not sure on this) were duking it out with the Turks. I'm sure something could be done with that.
I never cared for the idea that the Italians would strike through neutral Austria to get at the Germans. It just didn't make sense to me.
Also, what about Spain and Portugal? I don't think I even saw those two nations mentioned in any T2K product.

Now my thoughts are expanding to the whole Mediterranean region. The eastern part might fit in with an expansion to the RDF Sourcebook: Israel, Syria, etc.

Someone mentioned South America; perhaps Central America as well. I'm sure in the T2K world, there's plenty of action going on there.
Also, Gateway to the Spanish Main could be expanded on, into a Caribbean Sourcebook.

I could go on but hell, I'd end up just listing every region on the planet ultimately then.

this thread is starting to go down the road we've seen before. Let's chill out everyone.

I'm with you on listing every region of the planet. Antartica anyone???

On a serious note, the Med does get some treatement in the Last Sub series. The second module in that is titled "Mediterranean Cruise" but it doesn't go into a lot of detail about Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece, Turkey or Libya and Gibraltar (characters make stops in Libya and Gibraltar)

The Big Yellow Book (2.x) has paragraphs on Spain, Portugal, Italy and Turkey. I haven't memorized them and I'm at work but someone with access to the Big Yellow Book can elaborate.

Med Cruise has some very general info on Spain, Greece and Libya and Romania, basically enough to make a very rough outline and not much more.

One thing I will try to do is what is happening in Yugoslavia - the only intact US Army in Europe is still there, 3 divisions worth of men. And the canon, besides what little is mentioned in the timeline and in the US Vehicle Guide is largely silent there (and I dont count the Eastern European Sourcebook - it is full of misinformation)

Wanted to bring this thread back to life now that new material is finally being added to the Twilight 2000 canon

Marc Miller definitely is looking for more canon releases for Twilight 2000 now that the East Africa Sourcebook has been released in order to keep expanding and adding to the canon - I am definitely looking for ideas that people are interested in for follow ups - have a few of my own that I am already working on

Naval (got some ideas there), Korea, California (You'd have to split it up into NorCal and SoCal), maybe an Air Force one for the USAF, another for the USMC (covered in U.S. Army Vehicle Guide, but....).

I had a idea about CivGov sending the CIA to toppling Liberian president Charles Taylor, setting up shop there and create Air Africa (a CIA air unit) and the Special Activities Division Africa (SADA) among others who operate against Soviet and MilGov forces in Africa.

Example of this could be:

A paramilitary team belonging to CIA Special Activities Division Africa (SADA) operating out of Liberia enters the neighboring country of Guinea to hunt renaming Soviet forces who had survived the United States nuclear attack on the Soviet air and naval bases in Conakry,Guinea.
