While I think having cuba be its own power would be cool, it would kind of like having New Zealand be its own power in g40. You would have to wonder how much they really contribute. Maybe you could make it so that the Warsaw Pact can pay to build units to support Castro and the gang in cuba, possibly at higher cost cuz of the blockades and embargoes and stuff, if the Warsaw pact is smart, like they were during the cold war, they’ll buff the hell out of cuba to prevent a traditional land invasion, and nukes aren’t always realistic. If they’re dumb then cuba will just be invaded and it will be an opportunity lost, which absolutely could have happened if the ussr wasn’t paying attention. I’m thinking about alternative rules where one or two players play each Nuetral category so it feels like they’re entities and not roadblocks, but I’ve got a ton of stuff I need to do before then soooooo… The setup for cuba will not change for balancing reasons, it accurately represents their power near it’s height, which was also the time when it was diplomatically plausible for the US to invade. For your expansion however, I recommend cuba starts the game Strict Nuetral with an army of one infantry.

Perhaps I wasn’t clear.
I have the game, in fact I have two coppies. Ineed to E-mail the instuctions though and I don’t want to type that much either. I was hoping some one had scanned the rules or knew where I could find them posted on a web site. One of the guys I play with lives over 40 miles away and I didn’t want to make a special trip to give him a photo copy to study for our next game.

Isn’t there any postal service where you live ?

a friend of mine’s rules are off the internet but i don’t know where he got them. ill ask him today and maybe get a site.
-
Well now I am screwed I can’t find either of the rule books I had. I hope some one can help me out.
-
i think ill add them to my website soon, although i have to say that my manual (dont know if everyone has the same) is pretty bad written. It starts by stating its the “3nd” edition rules :wink: and the examples are bad and some things are not totally clear.
I just started playing that game again, i got it like 2 or 3 years ago, but the rules were very complicated, so i went back to the original back again.
-
I found them!!! along with a picture of the map and tons of other information(strategys,senarios,etc)
