VietNam 65-68 Scenario - Nuclear Attack?

Ok into May '65 and US Marines and special forces are pushing back VC around Hue, pushing north near DMZ and planning to attack NVA there. Enjoying the scenario very much - then out of the blue I see nuclear contamination markers pop up at Phan Thiet (96, 129). Very little damage done to ARVN forces which took a direct hit in hex - ok so that's odd but even more odd is where did Ho Chi Minh get a nuke? Checked scenario notes and it says nothing about NBC warfare. No mention of Soviet intervention. Nada...
Anybody got any idea on this one?

What? Check your in game situation briefing it will say if a force is using nukes. It might be that in a previous version the designer used an alternate icon for something. I don't know, but nukes in Vietnam is just wrong...even hypothetically.

Very odd indeed, and wrong as you say...don't know how to paste a screenshot but situation briefing makes no mention of nukes.

A piece of cake. To make a screenshot, just hit the <PRINT SCREEN> or sometimes abbreviated PRNT SCRN key on your KB, then you paste it into any picture editor program you got; MS Paint, etc. Then save it as .JPG (preferably). I use a freeware called PhotoScape.
Alternatively, dump the .SAL file here, from the previous turn to check it out, Chris.
