from discussions at the time. As an example this is how the war would have
probably been fought in the 1980's.

At +60min the strategic portion of the nuclear war is over. The use of
tactical weapons at sea and wherever there are land battles will continue
until the combatants either run out of tactical nukes or targets.
It should be assumed that every country that had a deliverable nuke weapon
used them against someone rather than loose them.
Wow...it makes me queasy just thinking about it all. The most
mind-bogglingly destructive act that mankind could ever conceive.
