I really don't think the Mooninites will see it coming, so war should be over in a week or two. I'm willing to back a nuclear bombardment of the Moon, if it will ensure that I can still watch football this weekend.
I thought Station Eleven was pretty good about it, small vehicles / motorcycles for a while, then bicycles and horses + wagons, plus a lot of walking. That was a wildly different scenario though (99.9% of the population poofed in a few day period), so there were a ton of abandoned resources for any survivors.
