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.

Here are some pictures for a finished game covering the Civil War. It features two decks of cards and a few other wrinkles. The Union has better economics while the Confederates get better Leadership and other “goodies”.

You beat me to it :oops:. I was working on an idea for that same thing. Looks pretty sweet. How can I get a Copy?
-
Yea for $250.00 including map,ruleset,pieces,player aids, cards, plus 15.00 shipping. The map is 3x4 feet
-
Yea, that is beyond my means. Why so much? Is it comming up with the pieces (looks like the come from A&A and risk).
-
Must say, looks great again!
-
The printers cost is 85% OF THE PRICE. The map is printed on plastic tiles… I can get a print of a laminated sheet of cardstock, but the quality will look quite ordinary. I suspect the price would be in the 75-100 range perhaps less.
-
just put it on the web and let us download it for free :-D. I’m kidding. You deserve to be payed for your oringal work.
-
Well thanks!
-
Cool. Grey means South and blue means North, yeah? What means red and green?
-
Green border states, their is no red states but two “indian territories” in beige color

OH the $1,000 dollar game. Thats what i bought. I was the first customer to have this game. I had to repaint the pieces and glue some of them. I would check out skytrex.com thats where they got most of the pieces. And tumbling dice 1/700 scale from brookhurst hobbies.com… recently they had a killer deal which was free shipping. I spend another 700.00 usd on more pieces and i think i got a better deal that way then buy what they had. You have to keep looking at the site for the sale. It saved me like 30%
example:
5 german halftracks for 3.20 usd but they add like 30% for shipping to United States but with the sale it was just 3.20
look at the thread i posted on their site regarding piece counts… remember you should be getting 800.00 worth of pieces. count the value and check it out if it makes sence.
I would have faired better if i bought my own pieces ( when of course the sale was on)
-
Skytrex is definately the way to go either with the big $1,000 game or with the version without the minis. The least expensive way to go is to buy the game without the minis and use plastic pieces and just by minis for the types of units that you don’t have plastic pieces for - though it is less pretty
-
Yep. especially if your not a piece junky. Once you got a decent metal set for like every game of this type your set. Until then you got to use plastic which is fine really.
also, you can just augment the specialty pieces with metals.
you need halftracks, trucks, heavy tanks, naval fighters, cruisers. many of these pieces can be inprovised from 2nd edition and that attack! game
-
Im kind of curious about this and some of the rules, and It would be nice if you would explain the basic mechanics of a few of them, like how the commanders work and the union blockade and such.
EDIT: and victory conditions, since the souths goal wasnt to take over the union,so try to explain that too.
