Well, not exactly. Usually my systems are first generated with the
basic generation (mainworld only). Eventually later I shoehorn that
mainworld into an extended system generation.

I can't help! I'm have no military experience and I don't remember seeing
any clear definitions.

The only info I have is from GEnie, forwarded to the TML archives. The
only really concrete thing is that they are replacing the 2d6 task
system with a d20 task system, that it is set in about TI 1195, that a
computer virus has contributed to the fall of the Imperium. I know that
as far as game mechanics go, there are no sacred cows. I suspect the
history of the imperium will be unscathed, but the mechanics will be
derived from Twilight 2000 in part and MT in part.

No, there is no TML newsgroup, nor does the TML want there to be a TML
newsgroup. You MUST either subscribe via direct mail or have a site
administrator gateway the incoming mail into a local newsgroup.
