Sup /ttg/ I'm getting ready to run a twilight2000 campaign here soon and was wondering if anybody had some tips or tricks to use as a GM or stories to tell about their own runs through the polish warzone.

Variation is key. Do sessions about combat, sneaky stuff, finding food and gear, social encounters,...
Foreshadow future events/locations/encounters, and evoke previous ones, with NPC dialogues, newpapers or radio messages. Metting a warlord is a much more powerful scene if you've heard him ranting on the radio before, seen the enemies he's hanged alongside the road, or heard a couple refugees try to go there for protection.
And it helps the players think their actions have consequences.
"We were retreating last month, but since all the planes on the Krzesiny airfield were destroyed, we got armored support again!"
Do a common character creation session to have PCs that fit together, if possible with some common events in their background.
Make them ahave secondary characters acting as NPCs sothe party can recover from some PC getting killed, since twilight is a bretty deadly system and setting.
Bonus :
Some site with a ton of cold war equipment stated for the game:

I've been interested in this system for a while. Does anyone have any stories of how it plays?

Im curious as well particularly things like how much the mechanics get in the way of the game or vice versa.

pic related.
Still way better than Ops & Tactics in taht regard, though.
It's still a good game, but it's a good non-steamlined simulationist game from the '80s.
Also a couple minor factual errors, but that's to be expected considering how complex a cold-war military rpg has to be.

Is it really that bad with the tables-within-tables?
I've been reading through the 2.2. rulebook and so far the only tables I've seen have been shit only the GM should worry about, like determining random encounters.

Also, be sure to keep NATO and Warsaw Pact vehicles separate. Your starting image seems to imply you're confusing a Russian tank for a western one.

Which edition are you using? 2.2?
>>47957762
blame /tg/ for that one, I just grabbed a relevant image.

I'm fine with this, my group loves tables for some fucking reason. Anytime we play Dark Heresy they eagerly await the chance to see how something explodes apart with a dice roll.

yeah, I'm working through the rules right now and barring the formatting it seems pretty straightforward really though I would love a cheat sheet as a Gm and I can't seem to find anything like that.
