Sadly, during the initial missile launch, one of the ICBM's gets hit side on by a flying moose which sends the missile tailing off into the city of WashingtonAmerica - Vengeance, fed up with BS dictators and morons with their lunatic ravings, decides to just nuke them
Huzzah for US blind jingoism, eh?

I don't think it was meant to be taken too seriously...and anyone with enough common sense would realize the consequences of using so many nukes--especially that close to one's own borders, allies, or troops.

Ah, yes: Superpower II: Haven't played that in a while (on a friend's machine), but it was still fun. I think I'll up a copy of my own if I can find one. BTW, is there any patch or mod for the game that makes the economic model a bit more realistic?

This is glorious. I must obtain a copy of Superpower 2 now. I love the description of it - "like Google Earth but with nukes".
In other news, I'm looking for an excellent superlative adjective to use besides "glorious", but "excellent" is overused to the point of decreased efficacy and "splendid" doesn't quite cut it.

The game does not have the elegant simplicity of Defcon, thought it does looks interesting. It seems to have ground combat and presumably naval combat.
I don't know if it was busy orbital space or ABM, but I saw some of the ICBMs detonate en route.
It would be interesting if the game could simulate a TBO type scenario, where strategic rockets are useless and one delivers nukes with Mach 3+ bombers.
I do have one particular beef with the game though. Both the flashes from the nuclear incitations and the craters left afterward are way too big. You'd think they were throwing GT warheads around.

Defcon is better.

It's more than likely a deliberate exaggeration so that the player can tell that a targeted area has been hit.I do have one particular beef with the game though.

The Civilization games are still the best, IMO. Especially with all the different scenarios people come up with.
I give you the Cold War Deluxe for Civ 3 complete

3 or 4 generations of military hardware for each side.
Winner take all

Yeah, I noticed the total disregard of fallout when the nukes were used on Mexico and Canada.
