Darth thanks for all the info. I always enjoy these threads.
Something that has not been mentioned in this thread that I would like those of you in the know to comment on is the effect of an EMP at the beginning of hostilities. I assume some but not all military equipment are hardened against an EMP but not everything and certainly not civilian transportation and equipment.
What are yalls thought on the effect an EMP would have if used just prior to an attack. Certainly that would negatively affect a countries ability to move equipment around. Trains would not work and the interstates would be clogged with cars that would not start... The affected governments would also have to deal with trying to feed their people at the same time fend off an attack.
Thoughts??

That depends - upper atmosphere EMP burst, or small, localized? Upper atmosphere would have negative affect on the attacking forces due to the magnified dispersal areas. I'm not so sure military equipment is that hardened.
