East Africa Sourcebook now available - officially approved by FFE

[Olefin]

The final update goes to Marc this weekend - so let me look again at the British Army Training Unit - one reason I have the US going there as did Frank in his original barebones outline was that the British couldnt help the Kenyans - they were literally spread so thin there wasnt anything left

Yes it will change - updated how it was written to make it flow better, fixed typos and some continuity errors, added the Somali "brigades" that actually invaded Kenya, added an expanded animals encounter chart and notes on animals used for transport in Kenya, updated the character notes to V2.2, added notes on security/MP troops and Air Force special forces, removed one formation as I realized it would have deployed to Iran with the 82nd, modified another to beef it up and added an appendix on Liberia with the forces there tasked to keep the Omega transmitter there in working order.

from what I understand from Marc if you have already bought it you should be able to get the upgraded version for free

And what's most likely to happen is that you'll get an email from DriveThruRPG letting you know that an updated version is available. The email will usually have a link for downloading the updated version.
That's how it's worked for one of the other GDW games (The Tampete sourcebook for Dark Conspiracy) that needed an update.
EDIT: And yes, the update for the Tampete book was free of charge.

just got an email about the updated book on DriveThruRPG is ready to down load. I can not wait to get home and pull it down!!!!

[Olefin]

and it is now stated to be officially V2.2 canon - per Marc Miller and in the introduction of the sourcebook as well as who has the copyright - i.e. no longer copyrighted to me but instead to Far Future Enterprises

hell of a moment for me to have it finally officially recognized as such
