=======GAMEPLAY========
Each player starts with 32 ICBMs.
The player with population still remaining after the other has been wiped out is the winner.
If both players are wiped out, it is a tie.
Each turn, the player can either:
- Launch ICBMs
- Negociate peace terms
- Surrender
The behavior of each of these options is described below.
ICBM launch:
- The USA can launch ICBMs at a maximum of 4 cities at a time.
- The USSR can launch 6 at a time.
- When an ICBM is launched, there are 4 possible results:
- Miss: 0 casualties
- Marginal: 10000 casualties
- Major: 500000 casualties
- Critical: All inhabitants of the target city are killed
- The probabilities of each of these options is outlined below:
- Miss - 10%
- Marginal - 50%
- Major - 30%
- Critical - 10%
- After the turn, the cities targeted will have one of these symbols in it:
- Miss - O
- Marginal - x
- Major - *
- Critical - X
Negociation:
- There are three possible outcomes:
- Peace/Progress - 20%
- Surprise attack - 20%
