An intriguing little conflict with CIA backed Cubans invading Castro's Cuba in 1961.  It has a lot of appeal for gamers:
1. Penny packets of AFVs - (5 x M41 tanks)
2. An airborne drop
3. Small scale amphibious landing using WW2 kit.

The online version is very well illustrated with good images of all the combatant uniforms , OOBs and  types.  With Militia, PNR Police and Regulars on  Castro's force, giving scope for different troop levels.

The publication also includes an entire chapter devoted to "what if" scenarios that allow the gamer counterfactual outcomes.

Not quite all the kit for a 1/150 game, but playable in 1/300 or even 1/200 ....if one had decent figures.....
