Enjoy :y :y

That is quite fun. Sadly I live near two potential targets. Looks like I die if either one is hit

On the day that North Korea has launched its first intercontinental rocket, I find that "game" chilling and frankly sick. :o :o :o :o :o :o :o >:(
What it should show is how many millions / 100's of millions of children, women and men who will not be alive post blast. :( :( :( :( :( :'( :'( :'(
Before someone says it is only a joke.........sorry nothing about a nuclear attack can be classed as funny!! :( :( :(

it's not actually a game Lizzie, it's a tool and educational, even if some choose to misuse it...
how many of the USSR's largest design would it take to turn 90% of the UK in to glass and ashes?
just 10
THAT is scary
-
Remember that at the height of the Cold War the USSR's total yield of targeted ICBM's at the UK mainland was 389Mt
Then recall the fact that excercises in the UK in the 80's (Square Leg etc) had estimated total yield of 205Mt
Doesn't take much to work out that you are either in the crater (if you are very lucky), blinded by the detonation, burnt to a crisp in the firestorm, flatened by the blast, killed by the initial radiation, killed by the later radiation from fallout, starved due to no food and water supplies or froze to death in the nuclear winter.
-
Scary stuff. :o
-
I'm not going to play as I quite like the architecture of the UK parliament and there is no neutron bomb option. ::) :o ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
Can someone please do the A5. Even with craters and fallout, my commute would be easier if all the retards were taken out...
-
I was once asked while in germany what I would do if I knew nuclear attack was imminent.
Apparently, sh*gging the wing comanders daughter then trying to catch the bugger was not the answer he was looking for :-X
Cost me 4 weekends playing gateguard that did ::) :(
-
That's Call of Duty Black Ops off Lizzie's Christmas list then. :P ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I remember a while ago (before the Berlin Wall fell) working on the phone in a pub (ironically about 2m from Chequers), they had the village's WB1400 (early warning system), and the tinker started clicking.
Kacked my pants good and proper, esp with Strike Command about 6m away.
Fortunately, it was due to the exchange side equipment having a spaz.
-
Remember sat at donny train station as a 17 year old in uniform.
I'd only been in the mob a few weeks
Sirens went off.
Must admit, my backside went 5 pence / 50 pence a few times until I reliesed that it was just a test :-[

They were always meant to tick (confidence tone), it's when they warbled and announced 'Attack Warning Red' it was time to worry!
Always cracked me up that the Exchange equipment was in EMP protected cabinets, yet the cables that ran across the trays from the equipment weren't shielded or protected in any way... Also laughable now that the system nodes were connected by standard GPO cables strung from pole to pole, I think that maybe / possibly they may have been flattened (amoungst other things) with the blast! Mind you, I don't think anyone would be to worried about the post strike fallout messages.

Yeah, it wasn't the background tick, it was a loud electronic click. Not heard one go off before then. Though it wasn't the post announcement beep either.
Exchange TO said something had gone on the shelf in the exchange, and "a man" was on his way.
-
That Carrier Receiver electronic 'Warble' and the electronic jingle on the Protect and Survive Public Information Films still put a shiver down my spine to this day.
At least now we have no public warning system so the first we'll know about it is when things get slightly hotter than a visit to Birmingham's 'Curry Mile'

Can anyone remember that BBC series 'Threads'?
I really enjoyed it. It's available on the web.

It was a Docudrama. About as accurate as it gets IMHO, although the special effects are very 80's (well I suppose they would be as it was released in 1984). One of BBC's few productions where the scenario just gets worse and worse with relentless realism. The War Game, it's predecessor, was deemed to have been too chilling to air on TV as the effects on the viewing public could have been damaging.

A long time ago saw a film/play/drama set if I remember rightly in Sheffield about a nuclear attack[I forget what it was called]but it scared me silly and I determined there and then that given the "4 minute"warning I would use that time to get as close as I could to the nearest most likely detonation point,as I wouldn't want to see the aftermath of a nuclear war.

Watched it a few weeks ago when I was bored.
Remember my boss at the time telling us it was all CND propaganda ::)
Yeh, right ::)

Was that not a film? sure I have it on tape somewhere, starts with a young couple decorating their new flat; there was also an American? film made which was less realistic but none the less chilling......I want to be under one if the time comes............

If you are in a shelter for the first two weeks as iodine 131 particles have a short half life of 8 days, you have a good chance of living a reasonable life. As these women that live in Chernobyl's nuclear exclusion zone show.
Most of the cancers in the Ukraine have been thyroid cancer due to radio active iodine 131 particles, where particularly children were exposed to lowish doses. Low doses are more likely to cause thyroid cancer.
So if you think a nuclear attack is imminent get digging. ::) :o :y

The article also shows that Ukrainian village women are as hard as nails, but the younger women are very feminine at the same time. :y :y :y
