Looks better than Twilight 2013's estimates. I always wondered why they said 20KT as the nominal yield for the nukes in game. I was Special Weapons in the Army Artillery, and the Nominal Yield of our 6" Nuclear Shell was 20KT. Most MIRVs carried warheads with a Nominal Yield of between 50KT and 100KT. The big ICBMs could be fitted with a warhead of 1 MegaTon Nominal Yield. Bursting a 1 MT Nominal Yield warhead in the stratosphere (between 30K feet and 40K feet) could also trigger a major EMP effect. This was tested during the Bikini Atoll testing and the EMP knocked out power 1500 miles away.
