In reality Blue would not do that because then they wouldn't have access to petroleum ever again. All the mideast oil would be burned. Mad Max, anyone?

- arethuza 14y agoAssuming a "like for like" attack I would assume that Blue would use a tactical nuke on a Red military base of roughly the same population as the number of casualties on the ships. Only a lunatic would go straight to a city-busting attack with strategic weapons.
- jules 14y agoYou are grossly overestimating the damage of a nuclear strike.
- ucee054 14y agoI am referring to Red's torpedoes, asymmetric attacks and possible multiple thermobaric strikes specifically targeted at the oil. Red doesn't have MAD, but Red does have a deterrent.
