Cuba Libre: Castro’s Insurgency, 1957-1958

$69.00 SRP

In December 1956, paroled rebel Fidel Castro returned to Cuba to launch his revolution with virtually no political base and, after a disastrous initial encounter with government forces, a total of just 12 men. Two years later, through masterful propaganda and factional maneuver, Castro, his brother Raúl, and iconic revolutionary Che Guevara had united disparate guerrillas and exploited Cubans’ deep opposition to their dictator Fulgencio Batista y Zaldívar. Castro’s takeover of the country became a model for Leftist insurgency.

Cuba Libre will be easy to learn for Andean Abyss players, both volumes share the same innovative COIN system. Like Volume I, Cuba Libre is equally playable solitaire or by multiple players up to 4 and with a shorter time to completion than Andean Abyss. But Cuba Libre’s situation and strategic challenges will be new. A deck of 48 fresh events brings 1950s Cuba to life.
