In my HU game, we have the "Bomb" in the late 2030s early 40s, and ATB is 2113 as per TransDimensionalTMNT. (or was it early to mid-thirties?)

I have one comment to give. When a big change happens in history. Usually there is a new timeline or starting point to work from. Rifts has the P.A., Earth has A.D. and B.C. Even HU2's AU:GG has a new timeline to suit thier needs. Each government that has profound influance will have a different timeline. I was just surprised that ATB2 didnt create a new timeline from the Crash on.

It depends... some such dates are assigned at the time, but most of them are assigned long after the fact. After all, we didn't start using the AD/BC system until centuries after Jesus died.

True but I think ATB2 should have its own time markers.

There is an actual date on at least one thing.

The US Navy launched the Sen Joseph McCarhy - an eco friendly light aircraft carrier - in 1999
