I've always assumed in my campaign that obvious targets that one would expect would be nuked (especially NATO targets) but were not had had nukes fired at them but the weapons had been intercepted by some 'Star Wars' system, malfunctioned because they are crappy Soviet weapons, missed or were taken out or rendered inoperative by some other means such as EMP.
