your also forgetting Legbreaker that it wasnt the one large massive wave of missiles but a few here and a few there. as it states.

"fearful of a General (massive) strategic exchange, neither side launched so many warheads at once to risk of as convincing the other side that it was all-out attack. neither side wished to cross over Nuclear oblivion in one bold step threshold, so they inched across it, never quite realizing they had already done it till after the fact."
(page 28 Ref Manual V.1)

it goes on to state that the nukes fell from July till early December.

and there was a 2nd smaller exchange in fall/winter '98

this gives those that dont panic time... tiem to possible move resources and items to less tempting target areas, and to try to get head, even if doomed to failure...

ever wondered what both CivGov and MilGov use to more the trickle of troops to Europe in mid to late '99? my guess was alot of former rust buckets and anthing else that can float
