Many of the scenarios for Olympica did call for the use of chemicals. And the use of possibly as many as seven more atomic bombs. And the new P-80 Shooting Star and Gloster Meteor. And captured German V-1s and V-2s. And pretty much anything else that crossed the NCA's minds at the time.

The first day would have called for five landing beaches, each one the size of the entire Overlord operation. Countries that had thusfar only played a bit part in World War 2 would be contributing hundreds or thousands of troops.
