Thanks for keeping the emotion low, dude.

I have no problem agreeing to disagree on the target list, given the lack of data. I also don't believe for a moment that the Soviets would have hit every naval base. There's plenty of room for gray between the extremes of an untouched France and a France that has had every naval base nuked.

The fact that UK naval bases weren't hit raises some interesting questions. Did the Soviets want to put a fairly low ceiling on the exchange? This is certainly plausible. Did the Soviets think hitting the baases might not be necessary because losses to the Royal Navy were so great without hitting the bases that there was little to gained by putting another (quid pro quo) nuke on the table? This is also possible. The latter is a question to be answered by someone with a lot more naval savvy than I have, though.
