Japan

[kalos72]

Sorry to revive a dead thread but...has anyone put together a list of the nuclear targets in Japan?

My team was trying to come up with countries that might have NOT been blasted by EMP to help counter the lack of high quality communication gear.

Even though I do not generally support the whole "The entire US is blasted by EMP and nothing works" theory canon seems to imply...

Targets in Japan = Tokyo + anywhere there was a US base or concentration of forces.

Plus refineries.

I can see refineries for oil producing nations but...Japan doesnt have its own oil reserves does it?

Looks like around 8 refineries depending on the data you use...

Both versions are pretty clear that refineries get hammered across the globe, even where there is no production.

France has almost no domestic production and even thought they are a nuclear power the Sovs still decided to hit them.

[kalos72]

True.

[Rainbow Six]

A few places that might be potential targets...just suggestions...there's no canon list that I'm aware of, so it's pretty much up to each individual GM how they want to play it.

Mitsubishi Aerospace, Nagoya and Komaki (Manufactures licence built F15's and F2's (Japanese F16 variant))

Various shipbuilding facilities e.g. Nagasaki, Kobe (Japan was a major shipbuilder in the late 80's, building tankers, warships, container ships, etc)

Space Launch Facilities (I just had a quick skim of those but they all seem to have been operational in the late 90's)

here are some -

Central America - Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Guatemala
South America - Chile
Oceania - computers on many of the smaller island nations, Philliphines, Indonesian islands with no oil production, Papua New Guinea

Asia - Thailand (no nuke strikes per Cesspool of the Orient if I remember right)

Africa - Kenya (if the refinery was never nuked then neither was Mombasa), most countries with no oil refineries or only small ones

Europe - Switzerland, Monaco
