[QUOTE="Cerebral Paladin, post: 6265574, member: 3448"] Couple comments from the GM: 1. Queen Anne was a mistake I made when answering a question off the cuff. I knew I wanted Elizabeth and Charles to have died--it was a clue about the nuclear war, that there had been a calamitus event that had killed both Elizabeth and her heir-apparent. But Princess Anne surviving didn't make much sense--I could come up with a story where she was with a nurse and stuff safely away from London to keep her safe while the Queen was back there, but it's pretty thin gruel. In retrospect, the King should have been King David (possibly King Albert, depending on which name he wanted to use)--http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Armstrong-Jones,_Viscount_Linley having succeeded his mother, Queen Margaret (the real-world's Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon). They could much more reliably have been away from London--indeed, deliberately so to protect the succession. Oh well. 2. The nuclear exchange was substantial, and destroyed many of the major cities of Europe, but ti was far from mutually assured destruction (hitting too early for a massive build-up of nuclear weapons beforehand). It also was basically limited exclusively to Europe, because the exchange happened before the development of ICBMs. So it was probably about 10 or 15 cities total that got nuked--something like London, Manchester, Birmingham, maybe Leeds or Liverpool, Paris, Berlin, maybe Munich or some additional continental cities, and then all the major cities of the Soviet Union--Moscow, Kiev, Leningrad, Stalingrad. Not "most of Europe" but still a huge catastrophe, with enormous loss of life. [/QUOTE]
