good post Mike - I think thats one thing that people have to look at between Twilight 2000 and things like The Morrow Project or Aftermath - that things are bad but they havent gone completely downhill to where there are no governments or organized military forces left yet
thats a very large distinction between the two
now that doesnt mean you cant play Twilight 2000 as if it was that bad - you just have to pick your place to do it
for instance one place that would fit that bill very well would be China - there is no cohesive national government of any kind left there - whereas in the US and Russia you still have remnant national governments that control significant resources in China it has broken down completely - another place would be India or Pakistan
all of which are places you hardly hear much about in discussions on the board and where you could have a stranded bunch of Americans or Brits in very easily - more so in Pakistan and China than India - in a place where there is no govt at all and its down to the village level
