All,
It's 0515 on 1 Feb 1990, and the CLA SOF'S C Squadron has been dispatched to destroy a key regime Communications Center aboard a military base in Santiago de Cuba, at the east end of the island.
The protagonists: a Command stand, four SOF Teams, 2 Popular Force teams, and an 84mm Carl Gustav rocket team.
The target is the Communications Center for the entire Cuban Army, located deep in the heart of the Santiago de Cuba Army base. The SOF teams are infiltrating the Cuban Army base with assistance of local Popular Force members of the CLA, who are co-optees that are civilian workers and members of the Cuban Army stationed at Santiago de Cuba. The SOF teams infiltrated Cuba months ago, and are now set to be smuggled aboard the military base in 'borrowed' Cuban Army trucks.
The antagonists: members of the 31st Infantry Company, 9th Cuban Infantry Battalion, responsible for physical security of the Cuban Army Communications Center, which has its own perimeter within the confines of the military installation. They have a Command Stand, five rifle teams, an HMG team, and an MMG team.
Overview, north is up. The Comm Center is at top center, with the Command Post at top right. At top, the bunkers are, from left to right, Bunkers 1, 2, and 3. At the southern end of the table are three Cuban Army barracks, left to right, Barracks 1, 2, and 3. The CLA SOF are at bottom left, entering in three Cuban Army trucks. The MMG team is in B1, the HMG in B2, with rifle teams in the Comm Center and B3 and the Command Stand next to the Comm Center. The three remaining regime rifle teams will enter the board at random locations once the shooting starts.
The CLA forces steel closer to their objective…
Then spring from their trucks onto the unsuspecting garrison. A short, sharp firefight ensues.
