Okay, then GA is harmonized with Classic and Compendium (which are identical to each other). Most of the ADQs drop in additional details as well. For example, ADQ Vol. 8 No. 2 describes how Brazil became a recognized super power in 2040. It sure would be nice to have all that history is one place!

Meanwhile, the Collapse has reached "bottom"; things will slowly improve from here. And that's what makes it Interesting to me -- "we choose to go to the Moon in this decade, and do the other things, *not* because they are Easy, but because they are *Hard*". Being one of The Few who stands in the way of the Collapse -- not a bad way to spend an evening, eh, lads? :)

From ADQ Vol. 9 No. 2:

2020 — Generally-accepted end of the Dark Years. Plans are drawn for urban pacification and repopulation. Various social, political, religious and economic groups band together to stake out a claim and build a new future.

Sure, one could make a TV show (or RPG setting) out of that, but it won’t
even start to look like CW until 2028 when “Vehicular weaponry becomes widespread.”
This is why I wish the CW 6e Setting were said to be 2030 or 2040 instead of 2070. In lieu of that, this fertile backstory is why I am arguing that the simplest approach would be to add 30 years to the CWC chronology.
