I was wondering... are there any lists or maps showing the European nuke strikes?

I don't recall seeing any definitive Target List for mainland Europe. There was very fine line between the tactical exchange on military targets and the targeting of rear area strategic targets with tactical nuclear warheads. This of course morphed into a full strategic nuclear exchange using long range ballistic weapons with yields near or above the megaton range.
To compile any sort of list, one would have to read all of the European based source material to get information directly from the text. This would be very time consuming and almost certainly reveal at least some contradictions. Many of the references of nuclear strike locations within the various modules seemed to be plot driven, though there is often a direct connection to a past military campaign in the area. Unfortunately, there was never an in depth military history of the war that covered all of the major operations and campaigns. We might be able to work up a decent Target List for France, Belgium, Mexico and a few other neutrals based upon known oil facilities and important strategic targets. Benjamin |

The map that came with the v.1 boxed set and the similar map that came with Going Home showed the cities that had been nuked (although some could have been reduced to rubble in other ways). As Benjamin says, it would be time consuming to transcribe them all. As a GM I try to keep detailed notes of randomly generated radiated areas that were tac nuke targets.

I finally got a chance to look at these maps. Cities listed in Parentheses are show as rubble. Given the extent of devastation present on the maps I am going to assume that these are tac nukes. As for being time consuming I just mapped out 520 canon units so the Strikes will be no problem. |

Here are the 88 cities listed as rubble on the 2 maps GDW provided (From The Basic Rules and Going Home Module)
Brest, Belarus Grodno , Belarus Antwerpen, Belgium Gent, Belgium Prague , Czech Ostrava, Czech Republic Lille, France Berlin, Germany Bonn, Germany Borchum, Germany Bremen, Germany Dortmund, Germany Dresden, Germany Duisburg, Germany Dusseldorf, Germany Emmerich, Germany Erfurt, Germany Essen, Germany Frankfurt an Oder, Germany Gara, Germany Gorlitz, Germany Gotha, Germany Hagen, Germany Hamburg, Germany Hannover, Germany Honnef, Germany Jena, Germany Karl-Marx-Stadt, Germany Kiel, Germany Koln, Germany Leipzig, Germany Lubeck, Germany Mulheim, Germany Munchen Gladbach, Germany Operhausen, Germany Rees, Germany Remagen, Germany Siegen, Germany Wesel, Germany Wuppertal, Germany Zwickau, Germany Alphen ad Rijn, Netherlands Amsterdam , Netherlands Breskens, Netherlands Delft, Netherlands Dordrecht, Netherlands Elten, Netherlands Gorinchem, Netherlands Gouda, Netherlands Haarlem, Netherlands Hoek van Holland, Netherlands Katwijk aan Zee, Netherlands Leiden, Netherlands Middelharris, Netherlands Rotterdam, Netherlands s Gravenhage, Netherlands Terneuzen, Netherlands Utrecht, Netherlands Vllssingen, Netherlands Zevenaar, Netherlands Bialystok, Poland Bydgoszcz, Poland Bytom, Poland Chorzow, Poland Czestochowa, Poland Elblag, Poland Gdansk, Poland Gilwice, Poland Gorzow Wielkop, Poland Jelenia Gora, Poland Katowice, Poland Kielce, Poland Loniza, Poland Olsztyn, Poland Opole, Poland Poznan, Poland Przemysl, Poland Radom, Poland Sosnowiec, Poland Stargard, Poland Szczecin, Poland Tarnow, Poland Warsaw, Poland Wloclawek, Poland Wroclaw, Poland Zabrze, Poland Kovel , Ukraine Lviv, Ukraine Here are Canon strikes I received from Chico (thanks again) Bytom, Poland (Black Madonna) Chorzow, Poland (BM) Czestokowa, Poland (BM) Gliwice, Poland (BM)) Katowice, Poland (BM) Nowa Huta, Poland (Free City) Radom, Poland Sosnowiec, Poland (BM) Tarnow, Poland (Soviet Vehicle Guide) Warsaw, Poland This makes me think it is going to be a pretty good match. I will however remove several cities on the Rhine which are listed as rubble. The devastation on the Rhine is total, and I don't think the Soviets would have concentrated on those areas (neglecting others). I believe most of the devastation is due to the conflict with the French which I believe did not have any nukes involved. Though if a city has a large refinery I will still probably nuke it. |

I reviewed the list given by Kato (taken from basic rules) and disagreed on a few cities. I also found that several were missed. As a result, I tried to complete this list and give it country by country. I left UK aside (as I like the target listed in the game) and I didn’t cover Scandinavia as I consider that it might not have been targeted at all. I also considered that very little city strike hit south-eastern Europe except for one on Ankara (Turkey). However, a number of tactical strikes were registered on the battlefields.
Baltic states region: - Kaliningrad. Belarus: - Brest-Litovsk (Brest) - Grodno - Minsk Ukraine: - Cerkassy - Lvov (Lviv) - Kovel - Kiev - Odessa Poland: report to Kato’s list. Czech Republic: report to Kato’s list. Germany: report to Kato’s list. However, I disagree with Kato on one thing, I considered the Rhineland to be levelled and even add several among the cities that are geographically closed.(such as Frankfurt on Mainz) Netherlands: entirely agree (poor Dutch). Belgium: (No reason to bomb Ghent, that is a non-sense) - Antwerpen - Ostende - Brussel France: - Lille (several hit on Calais, Cambrai, Denain, Dunkirk, Lille and Valencienne). - Strasburg - Le Havre - Brest - Lorient (nuclear sub base) - Toulouse (aircraft and space industries) I consider that Lyon and Marseille survived leaving two major refineries intact. Italy: - Torino - Milano - Bologna - Napoli - Tarento Portugal - Lissabon - Porto (the city survived but the northern area was nuked because of the refinery there) Spain - Barcelona - Bilbao - Madrid - Zaragossa - Valencia - Cadiz Italy, Portugal and Spain were not primary targets but I consider that their industrial centers were hit. |

Yeah My hits are canon hits but I will map any list someone works out. Mohoender we will have to discuss the warhead size for your strike targets in addition to your OOBs.
Wasn't sure if you have seen my maps (ok now I am sure as I checked the server logs) but this is what I am going for. (These are all canon listed strikes) Map of CONUS Nuke strikes. Map of Canadian Nuclear Targets Map of USSR nuclear strikes. Map of British Nuclear Targets A few USSR hits are wrong (because I listened to Google over Chico Doh!). If you have any questions of want an excel file of the hits let me know. |

A point with which I disagree almost entirely, however, are the Kt/Mt level given per cannon. But, from memory (and according to informations available at the time) they make sense. When you look at the USA, for exemple, it feels strange when you know what ICBM/SLBM were available to soviet union: about 30 SS-24 Scalpel (10x550kt MIRV). (not retired) 150 SS-17 Spanker (4x550kt MIRV or 750kt single warhead). (retired in 1994) 200-300 SS-18 Satan (20-25Mt single warhead or 10x550kt MIRV). (not entirely retired or replaced by Mod.5). The 20-25Mt warheads were targeted at US ICBM base and hardened commands. about 50 SS-13 Savage (750kt single warhead). (retired in 1995) 250-300 SS-25 Sickle (550kt single warhead). (not retired) SS-N-6 Serb on Yankee I (possibly 1MT but more probably 3x200kt MIRV) (retired in 1994) 250-300 SS-N-8 Sawfly on Delta I and II (1MT single warhead). (not retired but reduced in number) 200-250 SS-N-18 Stingray on Delta III (400kt single warhead or 7x100kt MIRV). (not retired but reduced in number) 120 SS-N-20 sturgeon on Typhoon (10x100kt MIRV). (not retired but reduced in number) This would be for missiles targeting US alone. As a result, I would expect several 20Mt burst to have occured and several target would have been hit by MIRV instead of single warheads. NATO would certainly have used more MIRV and little high power single warhead. Then, I find logical for the french to have retained their SLBM in reserve. In Europe, I would expect SRBM and MRBM not to be withdrawn and to see extensive use toward second level targets (cities of Poland and targets in eastern europe, for exemple) and on the battlefield. These would include for US: MGM-31A Pershing, MGM-31B Pershing II and MGM-52 Lance. Funny how people focussed on the Pershing (200-250 in US and 150-200 in Germany) while 1000 Lance launcher had been deployed (and more than 2000 missiles manufactured). ![]() for Russia: SS-23 Spider (127 and 64 launchers). Scud had been retired since the 1970's and replaced by 400 SS-20 Saber. May be 60 SS-4 sandal (unsure). for France: Pluton (109 and 70 launchers). Actually these would have been replaced by Hadès prior to the war. 18 SSBS S-3 on the Albion Plateau. You can expect several of the french Pluton/Hadès to have been launched on Germany and Netherlands. At last you can add the cruise missiles (but several will not be equipped with nukes). for US: about 1500. for the soviets: about 1500. In addition France would use the ASMP (on Mirage IV, Mirage 2000 and Super Etendard). |

For Europe, canon hits aren't everything. There will be small tactical nuke hits as well, where nukes were used against enemy units, airfields, and smaller naval bases or to deny areas to the enemy. There will the remains of backpack-type nukes that were used to take out division or corps HQ (or higher) units, dams, large ammunition storage facilities, and other small but high-value targets.

Currently I have the following mapped T2k Canon Morrow Project Expanded I plan to map the following Mohoender Expanded List DC Groups Morrow Project Canon As I have said before I am willing to map any list someone gives me and my mapping software can support as many options as I am exposed to.

Necroing this thread:
The Nordic sourcebook is actually in conflict with the finnish translation of the 2.2 main rulebook, which mentions that the Finnish oil refineries are untouched, and in fact no Nordic country was targeted by nuclear weapons. Actually I think completely ignoring the Nordic sourcebook isn't a bad idea, since the quality of the text isn't too hot and it's frankly full of terribly bad ideas more suited for something like Macho Women With Guns. |

Agreed. Refineries, power stations, mines and habour facilities all make extremely good and tempting targets. Although the refineries are fairly obvious, anywhere significant repairs could be carried out to shipping would have to be a prime target also. Norway, Denmark and Sweden are ideally located to support Nato naval strength and hinder Soviet naval efforts, not just in the Baltic and North Sea, but in the artic as well.

Indeed, the Nordic sourcebook and the Finnish Twilight 2000 sourcebook do contradict each other with regards to the state of the Nordic countries. The Finnish sourcebook has this to say about Scandinavia:
Quote:
Personally, I agree with the others that the locations as mentioned in the Nordic sourcebook would have been targeted by the Russians. When I've finished with posting the timeline of the Finnish sourcebook, I'll proceed to posting the state of the world as described in the Finnish sourcebook, as well as information about the state of the Nordic countries as described in the Nordic sourcebook. |

I believe that virtually no strategic missiles were fired at any target besides those during November 1997 (and again in early 98).
Any nuke fired outside these two periods is almost certainly tactical in nature. This is not to say every nuke during these periods could be termed strategic though. The ground war continued to rage and as had been the case for several months, tactical nukes were still being used. It is possible that tactical nukes could have been used throughout the war, from the first shot in China right up to summer 2000. They are unlikely to have been all that common in the latter stages though.

No strategic importance? You are joking right?
Even without oil coming from Norway's north sea oil rigs, an undamaged refinery is of vital importance. It only takes one shipment of oil from somewhere else and suddenly "boom" you've got yourself a mobile division or two. Note that it wouldn't require an ICBM to do the job either. A sub or even Fast Attack Craft should be able to deliver the package.

I have to agree. Given some of the other industrial infrastructure that was nuked and seemed to be of lesser strategic value, I'd assume pretty much all of Scandinavia's petrochemical processing infrastructure would have been targeted either by conventional or nuclear strikes.
