Now here's the $64000 question -- if we do this, does it make for a better gaming world 10 years later? (And, in the tradition of the original IST, can we make the war a decent gaming setting of its own?) What are the post-war implications for the setting? I don't want IST25 to be a post-apocalyptic setting -- although the War is certainly another candidate for the Thing Behind The Wall...
