Default Poland, WHEN?

For me, the map release begs the question whether v4 is a reboot of v1.0-2.2, set in an alternative history in which the Cold War didn't end, or an in-our-timeline near future WWIII scenario a-la Twilight 2030 also set in Poland.

Despite its faults, Twilight 2013 at least tried to produce something fresh.

My big concern with kickstarter, is the exclusives. I find that they do more harm than good to the long term life of the game. They do help the kickstarter, but I have seen several games after finding out that they were kickstarted and I will no be able to get all the stuff for them (not talking about swag) I pass and I know several others in my game group who do the same.

Yes, but the uncertainty about this supposed 4th ed is making it difficult and definitely delaying me. I've got the outline done but can't really get the details on paper until I know a bit more about 4th ed. What will the timeline look like, will they be willing to incorporate what I'm doing with their material, and if not, how much of a fight will they put up if I want to publish it as compatible with the earlier editions? How much can they support my work and vis versa. Artwork is a particular problem I'm facing given my budget of exactly nil to purchase it.
These (and more) are all questions which should have been answered six months ago, but I simply CANNOT even find out who to ask, let alone get a response from them!
Meanwhile, I'm teaching myself staff college level logistics and strategy so the end result is as accurate and believable as possible.

For artwork just use photos like Raellus and I used - but make sure they are ones that can be used in a for profit work. Fan canon can use anything but if you want to make money you need photos that can be used for for profit works or you can get majorly sued.

Ideally I would get a few $$$ for it, so you can see the issue.

If you are looking for artwork Leg ask some of the guys on our facebook group - some of the modified photos there might be useful - and I have no idea what the status would be of a modified photo - i.e. where you process it so it looks more like the original Twilight 2000 artwork - if that now becomes legal to use

for instance the fanzine I am working on - and yes I am working on it sorry if real life gets in the way but I have Jason's and Matt's parts done already and working on others as to organizing them and putting them in order - could use a bigger variety of photos as its not for profit - thus opening up photos I could never use for profit - but even there some are off limits
