Default New Nuke Simulator Website

Not sure if you guys have seen this, but it in my campaigns I always wondered how big an area would be affected by a blast, NYC for example.

Like how to get the best "and nothing ever grew from the irradiated wasteland" coverage using Davey Crockett sixed warheads.

Yeah, I've gotten really tired of the Cognitive Dissonance to Progressives. It seems that they take stupidity to the point on mental insanity.

The "liberal" part of me wants to get into a political argument in response but the Moderator part of me has won the internal debate and is making me remind everyone (once again) that real-world political comments are best avoided on this forum, please.

Ah, I like this, good for drawing up hypothetical strikes if you're planning to go into detail on any particular targets that your PC's or such may be travelling nearby. I'm trying to write a series of fics now that includes a rather nasty full-tilt nuclear exchange between India and Pakistan around 2000/2001 or so.

BTW, a new improved version comes out next month, it is kind of neat to fool with and get gaming ideas.

Interesting when you apply it to some of the various places that were hit. Gives you a real appreciation for how much of DC was affected by two relatively small bombs - when you compare how much megatonnage for instance books like Warday used.

Yeah, that would be nice, and it is a nice tool. It would also be nice if you could program in more variables - weather, etc. or maybe varying yields per plot (to make mapping a whole theatre easier).
