V2 Atomic rocket

[Hermann der Cheruskerfürst]

I am in AO 1946, have been awarded the secret V2 atomic rocket; what's the secret to getting it to launch?

[strykerpsg]

They can only be launched if the device has not been moved.

Next, are there any targets in range? If not, they you cannot fire.

In the AO 1946 Campaign, depending on how successful you are, you can get more than a dozen V2 Atomic Missiles and a nuclear Bomber. However, be aware that the US will also use nuclear bombers in about half of the maps.
It gets quite annoying when the enemy nukes your core Units and then finishes them off with ground units.

AO 1946 is all about elite units. With elite Flak and Fighters on the right positions, you can completely avoid getting nuked by the AI.

You can also send a cheap unit ahead. The AI will nuke the first unit that comes into range

Also save your nukes until you get to the washington dc map. Lots of tough units there. Plus you get to nuke D.C.
