WMD in MC; negative values

[Hans Boersma]

WP would have a political/moral advantage on the world stage by refraining from the use of nukes while forcing NATO to use them first by use of their numerical advantage in conventional forces.

Indeed the image of the Big Bad Soviets is an over-simplification, but saying that they were "just like us" is too. It's not so much about the Soviet citizens but about the political system that governed them. Prior to Gorbatchev few Soviet leaders would pass as "being like us", and there were some pretty paranoid figures in government and in KGB especially.

I like the idea of adding some sort of penalty for the use of nuclear weapons. That could be easily done by making that side paying in VPs. NATO would pay more as they would be using these weapons on home ground.
