Yes, hopefully this is putting an exclamation point after the line in the referee's manual that peace might have come following the initial nuclear exchange if any governments had remained intact to seek it.

To a certain extent the 98 campaign will depend on salvage. I guess the 2000 offensive is drawn from the meagre (and described as foolish/questionable) reinforcements of 1999...
