Re: [HoE] Western States and Hoover Dam

[Sam & Max <samnmax1@earthlink.net>]

Well as to the Mason Dixon line it the (barely) different colored purple line in the HOE map
that is in Wasted west. If you dont own a copy of that, sorry. Its effectively the bottom
borders of NorCal, Nevada, Colorado, Nebraska, Iowa,  and Illinois.

Hoover Dam is VERY close to Las Vegas.  About 10 miles actually. I would thnk that it would
be a serious site of interest to Silas and his mutant brigade. That would be your biggest
worry there unless its a game concerning mutants, then your set. Although I have always liked
the idea of a HOE adventure set on the remains of a dam.
    Most all Damns in my game are destroyed. The fact a conventional war was fought for at
least two years would take out most. The power supply and hydro-electric resources would be
prime targets although Hoover could have been spared easily as its flood basin is mainly in a
southern state. (Arizona)
    Quite a few large cities downriver of dams would have been wiped out after Ghost rock
bomb destroyed the dams for the same reason. And plus a flooded town is simply to cool a
setting not to mess about in, as per Hell or high water.
