The game started as normal, I as SA, he as Russia. I sent a bunch of sub to Russia, he put most of his fleet in the Pacific (I think). I followed the subs with several carriers. At Defcon 1, my subs all surfaced, and started taking fire from bombers. I used my carriers to take out the bombers, and lost only four subs. I finally got to Russia, and used my carriers' fighters to scout. He had placed most of his silos near Moscow, so I took them out with subs and bombers.
Meanwhile, he was switching all of my silos to launch mode, and attempting to bomb my airbases and cities. I switched them back almost immediately (much to his surprise), and managed to limit the damage (though there is still the mode switching time penalty). Figuring that switching modes was going to occur until I was dead, I decided to launch all of my silos, relatively blindly, hoping that his silos would be gone by the time the nukes got there (they were, thanks to my bombers).
During that time, he tried to get me to nuke my own silos, but I caught most of them. Only two of my silo nukes hit my own silos. In the end, he couldn't switch them to launch mode, because there were no nukes left. Score one for xander.
At any rate, here is the final screen:

As you can imagine, this was probably the most embarrasing moment of my whole online life.
