However, I did serve decades ago in the US Army (in an armored unit), and I stay current with things that are of interest to me, insofar as I can as a civilian. I am also active politically, and I voraciously read history and tech books (as well as SF/fantasy) and I'm pretty skilled at information research (which I first learned to do for science fair projects in high school, then later in college when I was majoring in physics). You'd be amazed at what you can learn on your own when you put your mind to it. The hard data on nukes I pulled from the web in a few seconds while I was replying to you. The rest was from my memory.

Most of the information you can find about operational limits and theoretical analysis of nuclear payload, distance, and detonation time along with hypothetical responses can be found all across the 'net. It's major currency for conspiritorial nuts.

The only conspiracies (besides the GOP, which is one big conspiracy masquerading as a political party) that I believe in are that of the JFK assassination, and that various governments know more about UFOs than they are letting on. But I prefer not to speculate on just what the info that's being hidden is.

I don't believe in the Illuminati, or in secret Vatican cabals (a la Prince of Darkness and other such movies), or in some nether plot by game publishers to deny us ever seeing a decent successor to MOO2/FO2/XCOM2.

You don't? How else can you explain it?

Hey Zen, welcome back - I hate it when Arryn and I are the only honest (ie blunt) highly opinionated people who use logic.

Maybe now you're not busy moderating, you'll have more of a chance to play. I'd love to show how much I've improved from my Turmoil 3, Luck 3 days. (It's _so_ much better with Turmoil 2, Luck 3. )

I'm pleased you're back Zen.

Great to have you back.

I normally don't mind that fact that I am ignored, but at least grant me opinionatedness and logic!

No.

Strategic Command is more like the classic A-H pretzel wargame, "Hitler's War". I found it pretty enjoyable, precisely because it wasn't insane like HoI
