I'm putting together a what if Cuba invaded Jamaica back in the late 70's during Jamaica's political upheavel. Besides the river boats that Peter Pig makes for Vietnam is there anything out there recommended that would work well for like small coast traveling patrol boats? The scale I am doing this in is 15mm. |

Hmmm, might be good timing. Of course, once you hit the 1980s, the Cubans will be screwed, bigtime. I think someone else makes 15mm boats too, but can't recall which company might do that. I suspect someone else will be along shortly with the answer. |

There is a company that does Vietnam-era riverine craft, but can't recall it either. They did have some neat stuff, though. |

I suspect you're thinking of the jolly nice Gomi Designs stuff, but they're very much Vietnam riverine vessels – I don't think monitors etc. would look plausible in a Caribbean setting, unfortunately. If they get the ASPB, or especially the Swift boat done, that might be a little more versatile, but the various troop carriers and monitors really scream Vietnam, imo…. |

You figure that Cuba is running low on their reserves of abject poverty, so they want to steal Jamaica's for themselves?

Maybe they are just looking for new prostitutes. There is some 15mm WWII landing craft out there if you want to do some amphibious operations. |

The musical fusion would be awesome. |

Who makes figures of Rastas with giant spliffs? |

Of course, Haiti would seem like a possible target, as well. |

Of course, Haiti would seem like a possible target, as well. Because Cuba needs more evil.
Seriously. Haiti is the worst place on Earth. It makes Somalia look like an enlightened paradise. Not even the stupidest Human in the world who already has a country would desire Haiti for their own. We should really sealift everyone out of there, and spread them out around the world. Then remove all elevation from the country, and push it into the sea until nothing is left above the water, and the D.R. ends at a giant cliff. If there has ever been cursed ground, Haiti is it.

I just don't see Russia allowing them to do it in that time frame.
It might have provoked a Superpower showdown that neither side would have wanted. |
