So, let's do this the other way around: what canon nuked targets do you have in your campaign that weren't nuked in your T2K-verse?

Mine include Randolph AFB in San Antonio and Kennedy Space Center. (The first, because I can't see how San Antonio could have survived so intact when Randolph was hit, and SA's home; if you were to go to KSC in my T2K-verse, you would find Challenger, deteriorating, abandoned near the end of the runway).

My explanation is that the Russian boomer that was going to hit those targets was sunk in mid-missile-launch. I should probably add some other "non-nuked" targets to those to go along with that explanation. Or maybe some nukes that went off where it wouldn't otherwise make any sense.

Norfolk survived in my game. (nuke hit out at sea) and NORAD/Colorado Springs survived as well. (the nuke flat out didn't detonate and impacted 10 miles west of NORAD)

Yeah well considering that some nukes weren't much more than explosive with radioactive dust, but the dust show up at nuke.

So maybe when the Rocket Troops received their orders to send nukes, somewhere some Commander/Executive Officers or whoever was still alive there sent the wrong missiles out. Or forgot to put the real warheads on the correct missiles...lol I am sure each missile was assigned to targets...

In my game, Norfolk survived, along with Cheyenne Mountain and KSC. And several SAC bases not on the canon list (Castle, Beale, Mather, Plattsburgh, Whiteman, McConnell, Griffiss).
