V2 solves the invalidation problem by posing a "What If" that goes back
in 
time.  Instead of revamping the storyline every few years, it
presupposes an 
alternative ending to a particular point in the past that then sets in 
motion an alternate series of events that leads to the WWIII scenario on

which the game is based.

The other advantage of the game, and particularly the web discussion
group, 
is that because T2K V2.2 uses the same system as AD 2300, Traveller: New
Era 
and Cadillacs & Dinosaurs, any discussions on mechanics can be applied
to 
any of the games.
