Your post is way more detailed and I was looking at a compeletly different mechanic, you could comment on the different warhead effects I described though. I was thinking orbital strikes should be this massive damage weapon, while these are smaller.

Also I strongly believe that a Supreme commander on each server should be elected and its okay if there is a council, but in the heat of war they will start bickering as to where the Strike should be fielded; he should have the choice of disregarding their opinions and acting on his own. Supreme command could be rotational ? Every few weeks or months and picked from the council.
