Re: WW3 NATO vs WARPAC: What would have happened?
BAOR had about 3-4 days ammo supply fighting at full throttle, other NATO armies likely were similar.
So about day 4 or 5 is likely when the buckets of "instant sunshine" would be chucked, assuming the war being conventional only up to that point.
However the WARPAC doctrine was to nuke and slime from the get-go, so similar would be chucked backwards in all probability in that situation. Highly unlikely they would have tried a conventional-only assault. Not impossible but improbable.
Both sides knew the nuclear and chemical score. Which is undoubtably why MAD worked - fortunately for everyone.
