Cuba Libre: Invierno Cubano – Castro's Counterinsurgency, 1959-1965

Cuba, January 1959. Fidel Castro’s 26 July Movement rolls into Havana. Castro’s fledgling government now aims to consolidate power and reform the country. But wealthy landowners — Terratenientes — are determined to maintain their grip on Cuba’s agriculture. Former Directorio Revolucionario rebels and ousted members of Batista’s regime regroup and unite as Bandidos in the Escambray Mountains. The DR’s urban students relocate to Miami, where they plan subversive strikes against their homeland. Meanwhile, other Cuban exiles prepare a CIA-sponsored invasion.

Invierno Cubano is an expansion for Cuba Libre, Volume II in GMT’s COIN Series. Picking up the action after the toppling of the Batista regime, Invierno Cubano offers four new asymmetrical factions vying for control of the island, a new deck, and a host of new options.

Invierno Cubano employs the core game system of Cuba Libre. More than a sequel, it adds new concepts to the COIN Series. It also features an array of new Operations and Special Activities to explore: Deploy, Inform, Shakedown, Harvest, Unite, Campaign, Disobedience, Govern, Homestead, Rescue, and more. Like Cuba Libre, it includes a full solitaire system—a new suite of challenging Non-player opponents.
