Looking for old Mac game -- War game like EMPIRE DELUXE

In 1984 or so, I played a Mac war game that was very much like Empire Deluxe for the PC. It had units that you would move on a grid-like map. You captured cities and used them to make more units. One of the units was a nuclear bomber. You would click where you wanted to detonate the bomb on the map and the program would ding twice and blot out a space the size of a dime. Later in the game, the size increased to the size of a quarter. The game was played on a Mac +. Anyone know this game?

Darren,

Strategic Conquest.

If you played on a big enough map, for long enough, the bomber could wipe out an area the size of a silver dollar.
