Description
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.
Castro’s Insurgency
Following up on GMT Games’ Andean Abyss about insurgency in modern Colombia, the next volume in the COIN Series, Cuba Libre, takes 1 to 4 players into the Cuban Revolution. Castro’s “26 July Movement” must expand from its bases in the Sierra Maestra mountains to fight its way to Havana. Meanwhile, anti-communist student groups, urban guerrillas, and expatriates try to de-stabilize the Batista regime from inside and out, while trying not to pave the way for a new dictatorship under Castro. Batista’s Government must maintain steam to counter the twin insurgency, while managing two benefactors: its fragile US Alliance and its corrupting Syndicate skim. And in the midst of the turmoil, Meyer Lansky and his Syndicate bosses will jockey to keep their Cuban gangster paradise alive
Then of course there is the famous island campaigns with the US driving across the Pacific to knock Japan out of the war.

Un excellent jeu de stratégie asymétrique | |
Les factions sont bien balancées et les règles permettent une bonne quantité de négociations entre les joueurs et d'échanges de ressources. Le jeu est bien ficellé et il est peu probable qu'un joueur aie tant de puissance que les autres ne puissent rien faire. |

Le meilleur COIN game d'introduction | |
Avec un thème intéressant et évocateur; Cuba Libre est incontestablement le plus "approchable" comme initiation au système COIN de la série. Il a aussi été décrit comme une bataille au couteau dans une cabine téléphonique; En effet, la petite taille de la carte multiplie les interractions et les rends encore plus sanglantes! Génial |

Excellent! | |
Je me suis enfin décidé de me procurer un jeu de la famille des "coin" (contre insurgés) de GMT. J'ai donc opté pour Cuba Libre parce que après avoir lu sur le sujet, il s'agissait du meilleur dans son domaine pour apprendre le fonctionnement de ceux-ci. J'aime vraiment et le recommande. |
