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.

I checked them out and they look interesting, for Napoleonic/ 1st half of the 19th Century games if not for ACW/ 2nd half of the 19th Century (for the latter, I’m looking for kepis, sun-helmets and picklehaubes, not tall shakos…)
What size are they? I’d really like infantry in something close to HO Scale, because I can draw from my vast collection of HO plastics as supplements for “special units”, which is one of the reasons why I’ve collected about everything Eagle made as “base” or “generic” units for most periods.

well Eagle is not in HO 1/87 scale nor 1/72 scale… its quite larger and they are in fact different scales.
Viktory II pieces are about 1/87 scale.
Its not relevant about the accouterments because the utility of the pieces more than compensates for the minor details.
If you want accuracy its best to just buy 15MM and paint professionally. Plus with these pieces you have Napoleonic set.
Your beginning to sound like Timerover BTW.
