really goes to show how the game's idea of just hitting petroleum targets in neutrals really doesnt cut down the amount of casualties that much as compared to going city buster - and applied to France for instance or Japan how much the "neutrals" may have lost as to population and industrial base - not if the Soviets idea of a surgical strike is a 250kt nuke

Well, when all you've got is a hammer...
Though I wonder how different T2k would be in a total exchange scenario, considering that T2k13 has 90% of the world dead a few years after its limited nuclear war. That game at least seemed to posit that having 9 out of 10 people dead was no impediment to T2k-style role-playing...
