All, Following all of the fights (1-18) on D-Day, I posted a Situation Report (SITREP) on my blog, but I didn't post it on any websites, so I figured I'd mention it here. I also just posted the SITREP for D+1, having finished those fights (19-22). The SITREPS outline the days Operations Order (OPORD, the overall plan of attack by the Cuban Liberation Army, CLA), how successful the various parts of it were, table of organization for the CLA and regime forces, casualties suffered by both sides, and the plan for the following day (the new OPORD). I figured the SITREPS would help folks have a better understanding of the 'big picture' for the War of Liberation, i.e., put a bigger context to the individual fights, and let you know how the 'war' is progressing. Here is the link for the D-Day SITREP: link Here is the new one, the D+1 SITREP: link If you are so moved to read the SITREPs, I'd appreciate a comment as to whether you thought it was useful/interesting or not. I got two more games in today (Saturday), and I'm looking to get a couple more in tomorrow, which should wrap up D+2 (only four fights scheduled), so look for those batreps to come out this coming week. Also, I've been working on a bunch of little plastic Napoleonics, and a bunch of modern 15mm stuff. Nothing is finished, but it's a lot of stuff and I'd like to snap some photos to show you what's going on. V/R, Jack

I thought it wa spretty handy. With so many battles going on, it can be easy to lose the big picture a little, so this helps get an overview again.

how about an overview of what the war is about?

Ivan – Thanks, I'll keep doing them. Editor – That's simple: the war is by pro-democracy exiles working on overthrowing the Castro brothers. Once that is accomplished, they will turn into war mongers, create an expeditionary force, and serve as a spring board for whatever modern gaming that springs to my mind (for example, they will take part in Gulf War I and II).

Might have some potential mercenary work in the future.

Mercenary work? V/R, Jack

They'd seem an obvious source to hire out for dubious and not-so-dubious merc work in south america or africa after these exploits. Give you an opportunity to get stuck in all sorts of problems and conflicts.
