In the 1st thru 3rd edition ignore the graphics of the MIRV impact patterns. MIRV's are independently targeted, not in patterns as shown. So that makes the information under each pattern suspect as well. The chart to the right is good for each warhead used.

In the 4th edition on page 280 there are charts for airburst and surface bursts. They are pretty good and can be of use in most any game.

Now on my website I have been updating the charts with new and corrected information for Soviet Nuclear Missiles: http://www.thesupplybunker.net/pdf/s...ssiles_2.8.pdf

I have a chart for China but have not posted it yet.

Read thru this website: http://nuclearweaponarchive.org/ the section marked "Nuclear Weapons Frequently Asked Questions (NWFAQ) by Carey Sublette".

If you really want an in depth book on the subject I recommend getting a copy of this book: The Effects of Nuclear Weapons 3rd Edition, Compiled and edited by Samuel Glasstone and Philip J. Dolan. If you can get it with the calculator that is very helpful (not really a calculator as you might think).
