Twilight 1964 and the US Army in 1962

[mcchordsage]

The old thread for my Twilight 1964 resources is now over four years old. In the interest of updating and consolidating material scattered through the old one, here's everything in one post.

Additionally, the forum will no longer let me attach updated versions of the core document. Part of the reason this post has been so delayed is honestly just forgetting about that, coming to upload an update, remembering it won't work, etc. So here's a Google Drive link that should work fine.

No problem! I'm still working on this whenever the mood strikes, so, keep an eye out for updates.
