A few thoughts on WMD and the Soviet Union in T2K.
I think it is evident that the Soviets do not give a tinkers damn about world opinion on who they kill. In both V1.0 and v2.2, the Soviets cross the nuclear threshhold first. China is devistated first. Then, once Nato gets right up to Soviet border, Europe is started on.
The nuclear exchange between the US and the USSR is not detaled as to who fired what and when at the respective mainlands. We are only told that "small" nukes are used against each other. The really BIG ones used to dig out missle silos and what have you are left on the ground.
Given this background, IMHO, if the Soviets thought that persistant chemical or biological weapons would give them an edge, the order would be passed QUICKLY from the C4I of Moscow to what ever unit needed to pull the trigger.
