Littered About

Still thinking about the world of Twilight: 2000 and things that I never considered back in 1985 when I first got the game and started playing.

We didn't do mines, so there were no minefields.  There should have been.  There should, at least, be signage indicating minefields, even if they are fake, just to keep some of the marauders out of the crops.

Unexploded ordnance would be everywhere.  The T2K world exists before agreements about cluster munitions were signed and Soviet bomblets had a depressingly high percentage that didn't go off on impact as intended.

Because of marauders and how the militaries generally treated the civilian populations, they should be a lot more hostile to the party escaping Kalisz.  It makes me wonder if a re-writing The Seven Samurai for T2K would work...  No, I don't wonder, it'd work great!  The big question is whether the players would be the Samurai or the bandits.  It works great both ways.

Because the characters are soldiers and the equipment list is, essentially, a weapons list; two big things get missed.

The Battle of Kalisz is the end of the war.  The party runs for it, but the battle ends with both sides basically wiping each other out.  WW3 is over except for the mopping up.

Because the war is over, they can participate in the rebuilding of society and having a part in how that proceeds.  They can settle.  They can try to get home.  They can be part of a local warlord or town becoming a government or nation.

The vistas are wider than I would have imagined in 1985 when the Soviet Union was just a solid as the West and NATO.
