There were some differences between the two. I noted that the hit

And not without good reason! There's a very good article in the latest
Military History Quarterly about the war scare in the early 1980s, which
I
first heard about on a CBC radio programme four years ago. Ronald Reagan
and
Soviet paranoia almost turned us all into crispy critters. We were THIS
close to a nuclear war...

Anyway, this has got me thinking about a post apocalypse SG2 game (he

deftly dragging the post back on topic). I'm currently checking out what
equipment was available to both NATO and Warsaw Pact forces back in the
early eighties.
