Would you have some reference links that would stop me from doing so? Hiroshima and Nagasaki are now safe to live in because, if memory serves, a hurricane washed most of the radioactive fallout a few days after the bombings. Plus, the bombs were fairly low-yield.

Not really -- as long as you call it "survive" rather than "live". I would however expect a lot of people fleeing bombed areas. There will be a lot of semi-rational fear to that decision ("my city was nuked" does carry a stronger emotional load than "my city was bombed", even on comparable...

Not only destroying them, but leaving them contaminated for decades. I expect that, by 2013, most of Germany will still be radioactive marshlands, with a lot of resettlement in southern France, Spain and Portugal (and, in North America, Mexico and Costa Rica). There should also be some very...

Internally Displaced People; although, in that case, "refugees" is a more appropriate term. There might be also radioactive contamination of the ground waters and snow caps in the Gotthard area: many major rivers take their source here (Rhine and Rhône rivers, among others). I was sixteen at...

There would be other aspects to take into consideration: a lot of IDPs from Germany, possibly Belgium (you did not take into consideration strikes on nearby Belgium, Mons and Casteau for example), logistic issues, conventional bombing, etc. I would say that, from a military point of view...

It could be worse. Consider: - Armed truce between WP and NATO - Unrest in Soviet satellite countries and independentist republics (NATO-supported or not) - Russia becomes one big failed state à la Somalia; China returns to warlordism - Soviet and Chinese remaining NBC arsenal is...

I haven't seen any such edition. I wish there were. Sources, yes, a couple usually; POD is most of the times explained in the storyline, but not always clear (it took me a while to figure out the reversed Reconquista in Colomb Pacha).

I very much like the Jour J series, they are usually quite enjoyable, but I feel that they lack depth – and, as LSCatilina said, they very often involve a fair amount of ASB material. Also, even for somebody with a decent knowledge in history, it's a bit hard to see where the POD is and how...

I'd go with the "France Fights On" scenario: Pétain gets the boot in June 1940 and France stays in the war.
