	Our version of empire for a PDP did not have nukes (did have
lots of other bugs though). It really didn't seem to make that much 
difference. In our games, when the first nuke is launched, it almost
certainly signals the end. It just turns out to be an easy way to
end a game that has gone stale. (Amazing how we can trivialize total
nuclear destruction :-) ).
