In the D&D world we called those Monty Haul campaigns - you kill three orcs who are carrying a +3 sword, two +2 shields and a fully charged Wand of Fireballs plus 10,000 gold pieces

However I have never heard of any Twilight 2000 game or scenario on this board that even comes close to what you just described unless I missed something

And the game itself has a huge case of Munchkinism as you call it, where the US somehow has its whole fleet destroyed, its whole air force apparently as well except in the RDF and can't even stop an Russian invasion of Alaska before nuclear weapons are used, let alone the deux ex machina of the drought that specifically targets the US

and the war, while being post nuclear war, is not as bleak as being post-apocalyptic - you still have intact governments in the US (even though there are two), France, Belguim, the UK, Grenada, Kenya, Australia etc.. - in a true post-apocalyptic event the only govt left would be strongmen and marauders - and that is not the case
