General Po's idea of heaven you mean!!

Actually, I know where it is, but what has happened to it re: the Twilight War? It has lots of supplies, fuel, an airstrip capable of handling b-52s, and several B-2 bombers stationed there (at least in realtime today). What's damaged, what's left, and how do we get there to loot it?

I think you probably mean "had" all that stuff.
Several years into the war the vast majority of stores all over the world would have been depleted. With the Nukes wiping out virtually all significant production and transportation, those stores are extremely unlikely to be replenished.

So, the airstrip might still be useable, but what's the point when there's hardly any aircraft flying about wasting valuable fuel?

However, my guess is that it would have attracted a nuke. Situated where it is, and housing one of the five GPS monitoring stations not to mention being a rather important naval base, etc, it would almost be considered criminal to think the Soviets would leave it intact.

Do you mean Major Po or General Pain? Or some sort of horrific combination of the two?

Major Po isn't dead, just the campaign he was in. In fact I'm not even sure that he could be killed. To paraphrase Rah from Platoon "The only thing that can kill Po is Po".

Nuke him from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

You'd need a Nova Bomb from Starship Troopers.

Good point. Maybe we'd better just bring in the Death Star and be done with it?

Major General Popain? "Excuse me sir, do you have any Grey Popain?"

I'm sorry about that last line, I couldn't resist...
