Global network of radar stations provides clues to enemy intentions. Play on your turn. From now on, any nuclear warhead detonated on you causes 2 M fewer casualties than called for by the chart. Can be attacked like Atomic Cannon. |

DEW stands for "Distant Early Warning". The DEW line (besides being a pun) refers to a chain of radar stations in the high Arctic, intended to alert North American defenders that a Soviet attack was in progress. It's also the title of a really cool song by Rush that is a propos to the game. Ironically, the actual DEW Line was rendered obsolete almost immediately by the advent of Soviet ICBMs. Holding this card and "War College" would give you a pretty big advantage in a nuclear exchange. -=-BhpG 2005 0617 |
