Many of us find the missed generation during the ACW an unnecessary manipulation needed to make other less important timings work. I think yours or Mike Alexander's proposed generational map with no missing gens is the right way to attack this. If all gens are present, the crisis has to take a different shape, but either an early start or late finish can be accommodated better than the missed gen.
Arguably this crisis took place too early. It could be argued that the crisis really started in 2001 from September 11th.
