Sorry, Mo. Re-reading my post, I think I've crossed the line from ironic to rude. I should have simply stated that I believe the Soviets would have had better reasons to nuke Paris than not. Sorry, dude.

Didn't take it as rude. I liked it. LOL

A little spoiler from my Korea Sourcebook:

"In a poorly calculated bid to impede the flow of Allied reinforcements arriving by way of Japanese ports and airfields, North Korea began bombarding Japan with crude long-range ballistic missiles (armed with conventional warheads). Not only were the missiles inaccurate, failing to significantly impede Allied logistical operations, the barrage produced hundreds of civilian casualties, provoking the Japanese parliament to hastily amend Article 9 of its constitution in order to allow the combat deployment of JDF units overseas. For the first time since 1945, Japanese military forces would fight on foreign soil. Soon thereafter, the Japanese 1st Airborne Brigade was airlifted to South Korea, preceded by JAF air strikes on North Korean missile launch sites in and around Wonsan."

I also think the Soviets might still have their hearts set on regaining the Kuriles. So, yeah, between U.S. military bases in Japan, the historical beef regarding the Kuriles, the scenario posited above, and the Soviet's T2K resource denial policy vis-à-vis "neutral" nations, I can't see why the USSR wouldn't hit Japan pretty hard.

It's hard to say but I reckon that it's at least 75% done, ATM. A lot of when it will be released is up to Marc Miller. He's approved the first draft but there can still be quite a lag between completion and release.
