# Twilight : 2000, 4th Edition
Twilight: 2000 Roleplaying in the World War III That Never Was
Some say it didnât have to be this way. Some say history could have taken a different turn. If the Soviet Union had collapsed back in â91 when it was on the ropes. If the Gang of Eight military coup against Gorbachev had failed, the world would have looked very different today. Some say. I think itâs bullshit. This storm was always coming, sooner or later.
It doesnât matter anymore, anyway. Now, all that matters is to survive each day.
Itâs all up to us now. Our squad. Jonesy. Diaz, manning the M113. That Polish girl Kasia. The men and women around me. No one else will come to our rescue. The final words from division HQ, before they signed off for good, left little doubt.
âYouâre on your own now.â
