 Nuclear Missile
These
intercontinental ballistic
weapons of mass
destruction are very costly
to produce, but can be
devastating to your enemies.
Nukes have a movement value
1 but once launched, have a
range of 2 spaces. The attacker
rolls four dice for each hitting
nuke and their sum becomes
the total casualty count of the
enemy. The defenders are
removed from the board and do
not fight back.
The only defense against nukes
is through air defense units.
When an attack is made, all
defending AD units get a
chance to shoot down the
missile: One die per AD unit
per missile… needing a “1” to
hit. Researching Anti-ballistics
will increase the air defense
against nukes to a “3”. If the
nuke is shot down, the attacker
is free to attack the territory
using conventional military
pieces.
Nukes can attack sea zones as
well, except only 1 die is rolled
to determine casualties. For
these attacks, fighters and
cargo cannot be used as hits
and go down with their ships.
When a nuke is used, that
player cannot attack the same
territory on that turn using
conventional weapons. For
example, a player cannot attack
with a nuke and then move
tanks into the same territory, all
on the same turn. In fact, no
player can attack that same
territory until the defender’s
turn. If, on the other hand, the
nuke is shot down, the player
can then attack using
conventional forces.
Nukes, like AD units can never
be destroyed. When attacked,
they do not defend and are
turned over to the attacker if the
territory is lost. Other nukes, AD
units and Industrial Complexes
are not affected by nuclear
strikes.
Nukes do not damage Generals or National Leaders. | Cost: 20

  Cobra Commander | A nuclear weapon is an explosive device that derives its destructive force from nuclear reactions, either fission or a combination of fission and fusion. Both reactions release vast quantities of energy from relatively small amounts of matter; a modern thermonuclear weapon weighing little more than a thousand kilograms can produce an explosion comparable to the detonation of more than a billion kilograms of conventional high explosive.[1]
Thus, even single small nuclear devices no larger than traditional bombs can devastate an entire city by blast, fire and radiation. Nuclear weapons are considered weapons of mass destruction, and their use and control has been a major focus of international relations policy since their debut.
In the history of warfare, only two nuclear weapons have been detonated offensively, both near the end of World War II. The first was detonated on the morning of 6 August 1945, when the United States dropped a uranium gun-type device code-named "Little Boy" on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. The second was detonated three days later when the United States dropped a plutonium implosion-type device code-named "Fat Man" on the city of Nagasaki, Japan. These bombings resulted in the immediate deaths of an estimated 80,000 people (mostly civilians) from injuries sustained from the explosion. When factoring in deaths from long-term effects of ionizing radiation and acute radiation sickness, the total death toll is estimated at 120,000. The use of these weapons remains controversial.
Since the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings, nuclear weapons have been detonated on over two thousand occasions for testing purposes and demonstration purposes. A few states have possessed such weapons or are suspected of seeking them. The only countries known to have detonated nuclear weapons—and that acknowledge possessing such weapons—are (chronologically) the United States, the Soviet Union (succeeded as a nuclear power by Russia), the United Kingdom, France, the People's Republic of China, India, Pakistan, and North Korea. Israel is also widely believed to possess nuclear weapons, though it does not acknowledge having them
If you ask me a go right on ahead and blow your money cuz you may kill most troops on the ground but can not attack until next round and if they dont rebuild you may still have a fight on your hands
