The setting

World War III began five years ago. It’s still going on, but that’s the least of your problems.
A few days ago, you were soldiers in the U.S. 5th Division. Now you’re just fighting to
survive while the world falls apart around you.

Right so some basic notes

Here's the Manual
Most of the rules and background are in that.
But there other gear to pick from in the:
US Vehicle book
NATO Vehicle book
and Warsaw pact Vehicle book
Small arms
Heavy weapons book
Nautical and Aviation Handbook
And a fan site here

Having played this once before i'm makeing a few rulings now.
1) All player characters can speak english.
2) In order to take NATO or Warsaw pact Vehicle and Heavy weapons the party must contain a player character of the right origin.
3) The need to buy Magazines will be ignored.

A note on equipment, you all get free basic gear and a vehicle for every three players. (if there just two i'll give you a starting payment to buy one with.)

Would someone who has never played Twilight 2000 be okay to play?

[Aseaheru]

 Should be. I sorta doubt most of us have played it for long. Its a bit of an elderly game.

Most items are from the Paul Mulcahy stuff. Of particular note, the vehicle is a Russian light unarmored, the recoilless rifle is a Russian rocket launcher, trailer is Russian. Only generic grenades have been used.

Would someone who has never played Twilight 2000 be okay to play?

Yep no experience need.

Version 2.2, right?

Yes 2.2.

[Aseaheru]

 So, Funk, any comments on my submitted character?

[Funk]

Other then how many Mountains have you been carried up?
Not really anything major it all looks good.
I'm probably going to do a little cleaning up, i'm going to put all the tinned or long life rations in one category to help with book keeping.

[RoseHeart]

shiney vampires?

[Funk]

shiney vampires?

Nope more the battle for survival in the aftermath of World War Three.

[Aseaheru]

 Yeah, he does lack constitution. But man, look at that intelligence!

[RoseHeart]

50 shades of apocalypse?

[Aseaheru]

 If yer referring to the modern book/film series, the creation of Twilight 2k predates it by 30 years. Atleast, I dont think you are refering to the film produced in 1919, nor any of the other books, films, games or musical pieces going by that title.

-edit-

 Just noticed the comment about merging rations from you Funk, any tentative plans for that? I ask mostly because from what I can tell, things mostly are split into rather broad categories as it is(Particularly when it comes to things like the C-ration facsimiles).

[Funk]

Food wise I'm liking the broad categories of the base game for consumption needed
We have:
Wild Food, which is, nuts, berry's, dead rats and edible roots anything you'd find foraging.

Civilized Food, which is normal fresh food, vegetables, bread, fresh meat, the kind of thing we cook today.
If something need cooking then it's likely to be classed as Civilized Food.

Long Life Food, basically storage food wherever Meal, Ready-to-Eat, field rations, hard tack, jerky or tinned food.

Food wise you need about:
Wild Food 3k per day or
Civ food 2kg per day or
Long Life Food 1.5kg per day.
