I think you are all right and EMPs wouldn't be that bad. What dogger said about low altitude burst is right. O f course there were enough of them to do substantial damages. Thanks also about what you said on bases; that is interesting.
What Marc said about cars being faraday cages is perfectly right. Thanks for reminding me that one. Tires isolate it from the ground. that's not the case with tracked vehicles and as a result, VAB, LAV and BTR might survive better than tanks and IFVs
Indeed the game doesn't describe any high altitude burst, I would expect it to be the case. EMPs have been knowns since the 1920's and their effects have been experienced since 1950's.
Kato, you might be right about early warning but I would expect most people not to have listen to them. I would expect most to react on someting like: "It will not happen, they are exagerating, not us..." Therefore, your 10% base seems fair to me.
