While playing world-builder during lunch, I tried out the following
on a test world. (It was created with 88% land, and 2% sea.)
All devices were detonated at <odd>, <even> codes.
1Meg 2Meg 3Meg 4Meg 5Meg Megatonnage
4 8 10 14 18 # sectors wasted

To end it all, I detonated a 100Meg nuke. It created a circular wasteland
inside -20:20, -10:10.
