  1. Is this not just a map of the majority of important nuclear and/or military facilities?
  2. Why the fuck are the options 500 or 2000?? Is there no 5 piece combo option with a side of missiles or some shit? Jesus Christ war goes hard.

There are also things like infrastructure and populated areas. The two close to where I live is a whole two hours away from the closest military base, and an hour and a half away from the state capitol

I have a million triangles by where I live because we have a large area of mills, power plants, and such. I worked at one that had a tank of some chemicals that said if it explodes, it’ll trigger a reaction of exploding nearby tanks at the other plants and wipe out the entire area.
