Chinese General Prepares for war

Excellent stuff NR, I knew I could rely on you! And I'll go through those links and see what can be gleaned.

I should also mention that I am not including every military base as I think in a WW3 scenario only critical military infrastructure (comms, munitions depots, air bases, naval bases, special forces and a few others such as major bridges, motorways, railway hubs) would be hit, leaving the likes of TA bases, minor barracks, etc. alone or reserved until a few days after the initial strikes.

Nuclear war doctrine entails a massive initial salvo so the attacker's stockpiles of nukes would presumably be rapidly depleted. beyond that, they would hope to unleash a conventional offensive, or so the theory goes.

One thing that's become clear in this project is that any decapitating nuclear strike aimed at the UK's military would massively impact on civilian infrastructure too. Beyond the loss of life in the blast zones, there would be sudden chaos as people struggle to find food / supplies / loved ones, during which time fallout would be drifting across the land.
