>Nuclear War
It's more of a comedy board game. Fine for what it is, but it's not really the kind of Cold War game OP is looking for.
>Balance of Power
I remember hating it because every time I'd do even the simplest thing the AI would go "no way motherfucker", go to Defcon 2, and you could either wimp out and lose a trillion prestige points or blow up the world over economic aid to Iraq and lose.
A better political game with a cold war theme from the era imo is Hidden Agenda. Manage a Latin American third world shithole caught in the crossfire of the superpowers. Definitely not a grand strategy either, but it does politics pretty well. It's like a proto-Suzerain. Good replay value and let's you play as anything from communist to fash and mold your politics accordingly. 99% of the time you're going to get killed in a coup but that's just regional politics for you.
