I still have trouble with the idea of "abandoned bases" in Twilight2000. They are all equipment "store houses" for "Continuity of Government" operations (these would NEVER be used in the war without DIRECT PRESIDENTIAL DIRECTIVE) and would be the place to go in Twilight's "worst case scenario." Military Bases have secure, EMP resistant comunications, and a concentration of "hard to find" specialists in a disaster (mechanics, electronics repairmen, medical personnel etc...). They have secure housing, machine shops, heavy equipment, auxiliary power supplies and a fence for security. I cannot see ANY Military Base not under imminent threat of nuclear annihilation being "abandoned" under the conditions put forth in Twilight2000. On the contrary, I think they would be centers of power or conflict due to the technical capabilities they house.
