Default Re: Tactical or normal nuke modelling

Because it was desigbed to "make a whole area kill or incapacitate advancing troop formations and irradiate the area so that it was uninhabitable for up to 48 hours, long enough to mobilize NATO forces." Not much fun to game out to me.
The Soviets responded to that by introducing special
anti-radiation internal liners for their tanks, plus
rubberized anti-radiation coatings for the outer
surfaces (T-55A is one such example).

I apologize if I come across as perhaps a bit evangelical,
but I've always wanted to play a wargame on my computer
below the grand strategic/operational (TOAW) scale, that
allowed the useage of tactical nuclear weapons or chemicals,
as they would have been used widely if the balloon had
ever gone up in Europe.
