That could be for all scenarios if inserted as an optional rule.

CBRN = Chemical Biological Radiological Nuclear

I don't know you would simulate any of this in this game.

Me neither. 

But we'll see what comes of it. 

As noted above, all of my battles will be conventional.

Riley in the Big Red One and we were a REFORGER unit and in West Germany 80-82 and Ft Polk 82.  We did NBC training all the time.  Nuclear/Biological/Chemical.  I prefer not to ever use that in a game.  Strictly Conventional War since NBC never really happened and it was a real pain in the ass just training for it.

hours and hours in mop and masks they really took it seriously

Where did CBRN come from? I've never heard of it before this discussion. From another country? Aussie or UK? Radiological is already covered under Nuclear. Just curious.

I hadn't heard of it phrased that way either, it was interesting to search and figure out what it meant.

The order of battles have specific NBC platoons for the Warsaw Pact at the moment.

NBC evolved to CBRN. I joined the US Army in the mid-90s, and CBRN was replacing NBC as an in-use term.

Radiological would cover something like a "dirty bomb" - not quite nuclear, but using radioactivity as a weapon.

I was in 78-82, went back in 91-95.  Had to be after that.

Undoubtedly was, given the concern that AQ would attempt to construct and use a dirty bomb in the U.S.
