So has Raellus in his Korean Sourcebook - you could use that too

You could use the East African Sourcebook for campaigns anywhere in East Africa - and there is canon info there that you could also use for the Congo or South Africa

Could, but I've focused all my attention on the Anzac forces and working on an OOB down to the smallest element and unit history that accurately reflects reality as closely as possible.
I've also had to work on the Australian/Indonesian conflict as well given Australia only has limited forces and with a threat close to home would only be able to spare a relatively token force to Korea.

I ran a T2k13 campaign that started in Russia. We only made it about 10 sessions or so when life took a dump on me and things just kind of fell apart. The group was part of an invasion force that was supposed to secure a beach head for a follow-on force, thereby opening up another front and relieving pressure in other areas. Unfortunately, the reinforcements never arrived, and eventually the President gave the "Good luck, you're on your own" speech. The invasion force attempted to pull out and head back to the US, and the Russians used what little air power they could field, as well as a tactical nuke, to destroy the invaders.

My collection of notes labeled "Home Front". The plan was a guard unit in Europe or Asia and their dependents back home. Two campaigns in one setting.

And thats pretty much what Raellus had there

Ok given what you just said about Australia/Indonesia you need to write that sourcebook - love to see what you have

Raellus has a general overview of an Australian task force sized group, not the details that Legbreaker is talking about.

I know thats why I would love to see him write a sourcebook or go in with someone with all the info he has - would make a great expansion for the game and a great new place to campaign

I think either Raellus or I would love to volunteer to put that together with Leg

There's already a T2K setting for Australia. It's called, Mad Max 2: The Road Warrior.

In all seriousness, I wish Leg had chimed in earlier, before I submitted edits to the KPSB. I would have loved to include a more detailed ANZUK Brigade OOB, and he would have gotten an add in the acknowledgments section of the updated sourcebook.

Anyway, I'd love to see an Australasia Sourcebook of some sort.

To get back to Chalk's original question, I'd like to play in a CONUS game. I'm really interested in how my own national/regional/local society and culture would be affected by the Twilight War. I love Poland as a setting, but there are so many good PbPs and campaign journals out there on the interwebs that it almost feels too... familiar now.

I've actually stalled a bit on it due to lack of access to "Manual of Land Warfare. Part Two: Armour Training. Volume 1 Pamphlet NO 3: The Armoured Personnel Carrier Regiment"
