Sometime this annum I hope to have fallout casualties modeled with a decent fallout model (decent means better than the quick and dirty elliptical WSEG-10 algo used by NukeMapTools) capable of producing a nice fallout map as well.

The ON casualties are ONLY the Windsor Ontario attack, and all of those are actually Michigan, US casualties (I don't have gridded population data for Canada added to the population database), so obviously MI is grossly undercounted in the above pivot table.

Howling Wilderness states the population of the United States was reduced to 68% of it's prewar level by Jan 1 of 1999, or about 87 million dead after 13 months. If we use a rule of thumb and say half of the injured in the above table died from their injuries, and throw in another 5 million deaths from fallout, that gets you to ~20 million dead, so you need to fill in another ~67 million dead due to famine, disease, and civil unrest through 1999.

And then another 50 million dead through June of 2000. That's a lot of narrative writing to fill in the handwaving details that GDW left to the referee (or Chico in this case).

Thanks!!!!!!

Once things slow down (and I think in general the number of daily occurrences will decrease markedly from here on out) I'm going to try to pull together a google map of the exchange, with ground zeros and yield/weapon/firing unit/date data noted. I'll send you a pm as that develops so you can work your magic!

While I am discovering/mining more sources about the growth and rampages of various marauder groups and disease outbreaks around the world, I don't anticipate getting too granular about the casualties worldwide. It just gets depressing! I am hoping to provide some more detail about the significant campaigning of the year - the Alaska counterattack, Mexican invasion, Iranian internal security, African wars as well as the summer campaign in Europe, much as I was able to flesh out the French invasion of the Rhineland.

Enjoy!!!
