I'm not surprised it was easy. As someone who spent a good few years in a recce vehicle close to the Inner German Border during the Cold War, I have a rather heightened dislike of tactical nukes and superweapons in general, so my take on C&C is always to try and beat the opposition (whom I allow to have superweapons) without using them myself. It adds a frisson. ;o) Neil A
