My gaming group has been frothing at the mouth ever since Fields of Fire came
out. "When are you gonna let us play with the new toys?", that sort of thing.
Well, I have decided to give them their shot at the new stuff by starting a
Merc campaign. The players will be members of an elite strike team (something
of a cross between a military special forces group, and an anti-terrorist
team), and will be sent on many different missions in different parts of the
world.
In order to pull this off, I need some suggestions/ideas from all of you on
several different topics:
FoF mentions some "hot spots", and gives a _very_ vague idea of what sort of
things are going on there. I am wondering if anyone has read in any of the
SR novels anything which gives more details about Aztlan, South America,
the Middle East, etc and the current political situation.
Secondly, what do you think the military forces of some of the countries will
be like? Will there be much cyber/tech toys floating around? I can see Aztlan
having a lot on both sides, but what about someplace like the Middle East?
Finally, does anyone know what the UN and NATO are like in Shadowrun? I can't
seem to find any info about them, although I seem to remember reading
something somewhere about the UN being relocated.
Thnaks in advance for your time. Any info/ideas would be appreciated.

p.s.- does anyone know if FASA is planning on releasing any info like what I
described? I am still surprised that FASA created a "merc"
supplement but
didn't provide enough info to actually _run_ any merc missions.
