With this many warheads dropping all over the area, it would be reasonable, from a planning point, that Project assests are going to be seriously affected. This leads then leads you into the options of emplacing teams in the target area, with the increased risk of the teams being destroyed or rendered non-mission-capable; or emplacing the teams in the areas outside of the targeted locations, better able to assist refugees fleeing the impact zones.

Tough call to make, either way.

This is exactly the issue I had. My desire was to place assets away from expected strikes. The larger the asset the further away I tried to place it. When you go with the classic war date this becomes more important, in my opinion, as the Soviet's CEP was much worse back then (more likely to get hit and more missiles needed in general).
