AAR Tactical Nuclear War
The WP launched 5 nuclear attacks in front of their 3rd Army in the area Göttingen/Hannover. The magnitude of each attack will be small (out of three possible: small, medium, massive), as the missile units (SSM) used are SS-1c and SS-21 equipped.
Before the attacks are resolved, the following happens:
DEFCON track: +1 (from 4 to 3), if it reaches 1, the game ends immediately
World Opinion: 1 in favor of NATO (due to only small nuclear attacks) (important for Victory Points)
Victory Points: +5 in favor of NATO
Nuclear Attacks are always successful (except if any ABM units are present in the hex and are successfully intercepting the missiles). Small nuclear attacks result in 4 hits which have to be distributed equally between assault units.
The result of these five small nuclear attacks:
Destroyed: 23rd UK Engineer Regiment, 20th UK Tank Brigade
Heavy damage (only 1 combat factor left): 4th GE PzGren Brigade, 9th GE Tank Brigade
Medium to heavy damage (2 or 3 combat factors left): 7th UK Tank Brigade, 22nd UK Tank Brigade, 20th GE Tank Brigade, 33rd GE Tank Brigade
The city of Göttingen has been totally destroyed. One of Hannover's two hexes is destroyed.
Now the NATO player may roll a d100. If the roll is less than the total number of nuclear attacks (in this case 5) he may retaliate without waiting for political release of nuclear weapons.
