Here's an idea that doesn't break canon too badly

Books like WARDAY talk about a limited strike where just targets inside of the US and USSR where hit.

Movies like by Dawn's Early Light also talk about a limited strike, this also gives you a good start of how a split of MILGOV and CIVGOV could happen

The Warday strikes were much more intense than then ones in the game - there were less warheads but they were a lot bigger

they used five to six 9 Megaton nukes on DC,about the same on San Antonio and at least three plus misses in the sea on NY
