Keep in mind that several sites might not have been hit due to defective warheads not going off, missiles going off course due to multiple reasons, and also missile defenses taking out the incoming warheads

As for not every target being listed in the game you have to keep in mind that there were a lot of targets that have been confirmed by various sources that were not hit - for example the only places hit in PA are the ones listed in Howling Wilderness - Allegheny Uprising confirmed that they were the only places hit by nukes - which means the Soviets completely ignored the Mack Truck assembly plant in Allentown, Three Mile Island, Harrisburg, the Naval Weapons Center, the BAE plant at York (which was making Bradley's, M109's, Bufords, M88A2s and would be a prime military target), Carlisle, Fort Indiantown Gap, and three US Army Depots - all of them untouched by nukes of any sort

Thus there is every chance that places not listed in the various guides as being hit were never hit by nukes of any kind - which by the way still leaves open them being hit by a conventional attack of some kind. So its not as easy as saying that places not listed in HW under the major nukes had to have been hit by smaller ones.
