T2K Korean Peninsula Sourcebook

Thanks, fellas. I'm really glad that you're enjoying it.

Just bought it and had a very quick look through. If you want some more detail on Australian (and possibly New Zealand) units/equipment/etc. I'm quite happy to help. For example, I served in an Aussie armoured recce regiment when they were still equipped with M113 tracks (they have changed to wheeled recce vehicles now - sometime in the mid-2000s I seem to recall)

As an aside and as a bit of colour, the Australian Army had been massively under-equipped with cold weather gear since the 1960s. The official stance was that there wasn't sufficient need for extreme cold weather gear in Australia or in the jungles in which we would most likely be fighting (outside the country), therefore it was not issued.
During the 2000s deployments in Afghanistan, the Aussie SAS borrowed cold weather gear from their US counterparts until they could get appropriate gear supplied from Australia.

I can very well imagine the same scenario happening with winter in Korea and the Aussies borrowing cold weather clothing from their ROK/NZ/UK/US allies until (or if) proper gear was supplied from home.

I reckon the NZ military would be well-placed to assist, as you say.

Love seeing the 28th ANZUK Brigade in the Sourcebook - I would say that settles the question of whether or not the Australians contributed a decent sized force to Korea - considering the size of the Australian military its a pretty good sized force - and great to see New Zealand as well

1st Infantry Battalion, Royal Australia Regiment (Australia)
1st Battalion, Royal New Zealand Infantry Regiment (New Zealand)
1 x Regiment, Royal Australian Artillery (L119 Field Gun)
1 x Field Engineer Regiment, Royal Australian Engineers
1 x Recon Squadron (Australia) (M113)
Medical / Logistics (multi national but primarily Australia / NZ)

One Team Spirit, Danish and British battalions participated, but I never actually saw them. They were, however, on the (unclassified) operations reports.

I see your book is #9 on "Most Popular Under $5". Well done!

Thanks! It hovered between #3 and #5 for over two weeks (I made sure to take a screenshot as a souvenir). I fear that its time in the top 10 will soon be coming to an end, though. T2K occupies a fairly small niche market- I reckon most of the fans who are still looking for new material have already picked up a copy. I'm just happy for the overwhelmingly positive response. It was a good run while it lasted.

Its still a good run - and keep in mind for Twilight 2000 the three new releases of the past year are number 1 (Korea), 3 (Rooks Gambit) and 5 (East Africa Kenya Sourcebook) - and what are numbers 2 and 4 - the V2.2 and the orginal rulebooks - meaning with luck that lots of new players may be wanting to play the game

I would say that is mission accomplished Raellus

Its not over yet - just went there and you are still in the top ten - in fact you moved up to number 7. And keep this in mind - mine has been out almost a year (April 3 will be the anniversary) and this month is the best month its had since the first month - so there is lots of continuing interest in the new stuff.
