Not that I want to come out as a nuclear addicted war monger.
But I really enjoy this strategy game.
The game is viewed from a top down perspective. At the start of the game you choose your opposition. I dont think choosing historical enemies matters much, they nuke each other anyway. You control a nation. You have 4 other nations as opposition. Each turn you can choose to build weapons, use propaganda against another nations city, Deploy a defensive weapon, deploy an offensive weapon (missile or bomber), or attack with an offensive weapon.
The trick is the game really moves in cycles of two turns. You cant just send a bomber off to nuke a city. You have to get the bomber on the runway first and that single action is your entire turn. Same goes for getting a missile ready for launch or any of the other choices. Once the next go rolls around you can then assign the missile or bomber a payload in megatons and off he goes to nuke some poor unsuspecting civies. Of course you have to first build these bombers and weapons of mass destruction.
The strategy of the game lies in the making of alliances with other nations and timing your choices for building and attacking/defending. Each turn you get to see what your enemy does. If they get a missile ready you can deploy the appropriate defence if you have it or do something else and take the hit.
One thing to remember, when a nation gets wiped off the face of the planet, they get to retaliate against everybody with some left over warheads from their arsenal. This can hurt sometimes.
