So the Kafers will not take Earth. Invasion would have been better if Earth or Tranne would have fallen. It seems like GDW was just to eager to join the Cyberpunk phase of gaming rather than give serious thought to the Kafer War. It was just something to keep the French from dominating known space.

Interestinginly in issues 49-52 of Challenge Magazine, GDW ran an adventure called Operation BackDoor, which I think whould have been adventure book no 1039 had the series not ended in 1992.

It reveals that the action was going to be shifted to the Australian/American Arm and that the whole war would have taken about 10 or so game years from the events featured in that adventure.

Similarly 3Ws Operation Overlord set up a stalemate on the French Arm.

However you are right about the cyberpunk books, that was just trying to jump on the bandwagon.
