In our Empire game we've determined the following:

1. If you nuke somebody with a one-megaton device, they have one sector
of wasteland.

2. If that same device had two megatons, the damage increases one
hex around.  In other words,

		ONE Megaton		TWO Megatons
					    \ \
		     \			   \ \ \
					    \ \

What amount of damage (in terms of wasteland) does a 3 Megaton device do?
How about 4, 5, 6 or N megatons?  What is the algorithm?

Thank you
