	Global-scale Intercontinental Thermonuclear War!!! Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

I will post details on my plans for a nuclear strike on GS as soon as we get Tactical Nukes (4 turns). In the meantime, I know some of you have extensive PBEM experience and was wondering if you've fought a nuclear war. If so, post your experiences.

Right now my plan calls for a 3-nuke strike on the first turn of the war. Two will be strategic strikes against Eye of the Storm and Tempest (2 of GS's 3 main cities) via Nuke Subs prowling in the south. The third strike is against Elipollis to stall a GS movement north when we invade Roleplay.

Questions, since I have not played a nuclear war in YEARS (literally):


1) The nuke kills what percentage of city units? Do they damage the rest?

2) Does the nuke pollute ALL the tiles around the city or just a number?

3) Do tactical nukes have to be loaded to a Sub in port or does any coast suffice?

4) If there's a forest tile, does the nuclear blast destroy the forest?


Yes, I'm too lazy to make a practice scenario to clear these doubts

1: Not sure. I'll look it up and post back

[edit] All I can find is 50% chance to kill. No official word on weather they are damaged, but I BELIEVE so IIRC.

2: Yes, all 8 tiles get polluted

3: not entirely sure haven't used tacticals much. can you rebase? Might not need the sub in town at all if so. If not, I would guess it needs to be IN TOWN.

4: Yes, it removes the forest and pollutes the tile, but DOES NOT DOWNGRADE the tile.

	Increase Your PM Length

All improvements in the tile get destroyed as well Hitting their capital will cripple them as it will cancel any lux trades they have with anyone.

Up to 75% of the population will be killed. I do not believe that you have to directly hit a city for this to happen. Ie, hit next to a city and 75% of the population is killed and 50% of the units destroyed + all 8 tiles surrounding the strike (minus the tile the city is on) get polluted and imps destroyed. This should be done on coastal cities. I have to get to sleep now, but I will ran a test either later today or tomarrow morning.

Remember to strike at their sources of uranium!!!!

They don't have uranium

	Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

Never had a nuclear war.
In SP or PBEM.

In fact, I have virtually no experience in modern warfare at all. (Except ONCE against Vondrak who kicked my ass)

	Suffering from ads?

H_E vs Vondrack seems to be a recurrring PBEM classic

	Support Apolyton, buy GURPS/ Alpha Centauri

It was nasty ...

Vondrack used grunt force.
I used every trick in the book.

Sounds like the Lego War but with roles reversed...

	Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

See the 1340 AD turnthread to see our new Evil Plan™.

Here's the target list:

Yellow line = range from Devil's Horn
Orange line = range from Devil's Horn + Sub moves
Red line = range from prepositioned sub 2 tiles off Devil's Horn.

IMO, priority targets should be:

1) The GS Uranium (and Arashi beside it)
2) Santa Barbara (Roleplay - so we can invade)
3) Elipolis (to not allow GS to help RP)
4) Olibanum Gale/Whirlwind (can hit both with 1 burst)
5) Monsoon
6) any possible battleship stack near their coast
