Anything else a non-UP resident should know about resources up there? I can't find any coal but timber is obvious.
The key in controlling the three upper lakes is controlling the twin Saults and Mackinaw Straits. Any faction controlling either one or the Saint Mary River would be access tolls (taxes) any shipping traffic as long as they were willing to prove they could stop it...

Coal assets are Marquette County, there couple mines west of there. Northwest of the AFB. Escanaba or Manistique would have loading docks. Copper in Hancock. Cement and Limestone at other areas.

There is book that is update yearly that is sold here and other points along the Great Lakes that gives detail information of shipping on the Great Lakes. It also gives you what was shipped out of which port up here on the upper lakes for destination to other ports. If I remember I look up it name and post....but if you gonna do a Great Lakes based game this book regardless edition would be plus, 1996 or 1997 would give you picture of how things looked at the start of original game, but any edition would be good guide for any campaign...

On top of this, are their published rules for the rad accumulation of being caught in the blast with varying levels of protection (being in a car, being indoors, etc) at different distances from the impact point? I'm about to start a campaign that begins the day the nukes hit home and would like to include those effects.
