T2013 assumed a 90% casualty rate. That came not from direct nuclear or kinetic effects of the war, but rather from the collapse of public health functions and the agricultural supply chain.
The presidential succession issue in the classic scenario always struck me as off, too. One thing I wanted to do with T2013 but never got around to was insert a couple of subtle hints that some of the key people in the process were targeted deliberately by parties unknown.
