Don't for get that the effects of a nuclear bomb are now less destructive. Now only the unit in the hex nukes gets eliminated, it does not affect units in adjacent hexes. Also the social unrest modifiers have been reduced to 6% for the nuked country and 3% for it's allies. Much more reasonable now. I hope someone corrects the manual.

The 1945 scenario is fun, hope Time of Fury gets it.

Andrew,
Those changes would be from January of 2013, not 2012. Always tough remembering what year to write down in January.
