===== Why don’t some of my cruise missiles kill anything? =====

If a cruise missile (CM) attempts to adjudicate against a BSE which has already been adjudicated (by SEAD, perhaps) and the CM finds no resource items of value remaining against which it __can__ adjudicate (ex. it lacks appropriate SSPDs), then it will adjudicate against…nothing.  It can’t revector, and it will retain its munitions as if it indeed struck a target which was already destroyed and could kill nothing more.  This situation is most likely to be seen when the target planning process plans a CM to attack a target in order to meet a required damage level, but a mission (like SEAD or TCT) which hasn’t calculated an expected attrition level against the BSE actually strikes it first.
