Other than those?

Get them to ally with you really (or at least to declare cease fire)

But taking them out first is always a good option :wink:

You could use subs and bombers.
You could destroy North America/Europe/USSR first.
You could ally with North America/Europe/USSR.
You could convince North America/Europe/USSR to cease-fire with you, so that your nukes can fly over unaccosted.
You could place your silos farther south, so the arcs don't take them near enemy territory.

    • Weps
    • countersmurf
    • Radiant Caligula
    • caranthir.pkk
    • Sarp
    • Xocrates
    • check the debriefing area for more...
  3. Fire when those other territories are as well

You must acheive a Zen state of acceptance and reject your feelings of entitlement. You must hope for a sunny day, but plan for rain.

You must accept that there might be obstacles in your path to happiness. No one ever promised you glory. No destination is inaccessible. Appreciate that if the door is closed, sometimes a window is open. Sometimes you will need to break that door. Sometimes it will be opened for you.

Remember, if a door is closed a window may be open, but the more reliable option is to just burn the house down.
