Card |
Supersonic Low-Altitude Missile Nuclear-powered cruise missile that does not detonate on you if it returns to your country; it can circle the world repeatedly. Must move every turn; cannot change direction. Includes two 20 Mt warheads; can detonate one per turn. Also kills (1d3-1) M citizens of whatever nation it is over, due to unshielded nuclear engine. Shot down by anything that can shoot down a cruise missile. |

Believe it or not, this was a real US project (though it never got beyond design stage). Ah, for the heady days of the early Cold War! SLAM is a devestatingly powerful missile, in part due to that killer exhaust. In playing this card, we goofed and allowed it to change direction every turn (a la JASSM). This allowed the owner to "sweep" it back and forth over a pair of nations, killing people each time. In rereading the planned mission, this actually makes sense and the card will probably be updated to include that ability. -=-BhpG 2005 0630 |
