Resisting Revolution: A Cuba Libre Expansion

What is Resisting Revolution: A Cuba Libre Expansion

Resisting Revolution is a sequel expansion to Volko Ruhnke & Jeff Grossman’s Cuba Libre, covering the period from the rebel victory in 1959 through to the climactic showdown with the US in 1962. During this time the new regime became increasingly alienated from the US, began to grow closer to the Soviet Union, and faced internal dissent from several sectors of Cuban society. The main expansion game charts the processes and actors that shaped Cuba during this period of struggle, with four players controlling either the new revolutionary Government, US-backed attempts to destabilise and overthrow the government, the growing Soviet influence and eventually military presence on the island, or the urban and rural Resistance to the revolution.

Highlights include:

An entirely new four-player COIN game, Resisting Revolution, that tells the story of the consolidation of Castro’s government from 1959 to 1962.

New mechanics for Government and Resistance Leaders, US and Soviet Escalation, US Intel and Soviet Materiel, and Regional Alignment towards Castro’s regime.
