A l-ower estimate cou-Id be based on the sane assumption as in the preceding section, bhat there lrere no nilitary targebs except air bases in thevicinity of major cities. For the battle area, the average population density could be 100 persons/kn2. 205. The r\rorst case lrould occur when the shots from both sides vere distributed vithout any regard to the civilian settlements in the battle area, i.e., non-restrictive emplol-ment, fhe consequences vould be less severe if one or both of the betJ-igerents were restrictive, i.e. deliberately tried to avoidhitting these settlements. 206. The resulting casualty figures (dead and seve"ely inJured civil-ians ) for the employment of the 1ov-yield weapons against ground forces can be calculated as foll-or,rs: Bnploynent characteristics A and B restrictive A non-restrictive , B restrictive A restrictive, B non-restrictive A ancl B non-restrictiveCivil-ian cssualties O.l- nillion n 5 nillinr u.D rn1lJ.10n 1.o millionA/a.,/?c)2 Engl ish Annex Fage'13 207.

**Analysis**
This text appears to be a military or strategic analysis of the potential effects of a nuclear attack on a civilian population. It discusses the distribution of ground zeros, population density, and the resulting casualties, with a focus on the severity of the damage and the potential for collateral damage to the civilian society.
