Would make a good movie or show on say … The History Channel ! That is fascinating, I've heard rumors of such things in passing off and on. But with many things from that time period, and even before and after, much the information is still classified. Or just not made public knowledge. E.g. there are @ 194 countries in the world. Last reported figure I heard the US has military/intel personnel in @ 134. I believe those were not referring to just the Embassies, etc. At least that's the unclassified number. So who knows … ? |

My uncle had many similar stories which I'm just now finally starting to believe, specially after talking to some of his associates. I hope someone investigates them thoroughly and writes them down one day, when the information no longer puts anyone in harm's way. Dan |

I've recently started playing the original AK47 rules by Peter Pig again. It's a bit of fun now but I used to work with a chap who was out there with Mike Hoare. |

Hoare was "legendary" among the "Mercs" of that time period. |

I wish more 20mm figures were available for this period and area of the world. Most African figures carry AK-47s which do not seem to have made it there in the early 60s. Tom |

I grew up in West Miami on the edge of the Everglades and we'd go shooting out there all of the time in the late 1960's. On a few occasions, we ran into Cubans from Alpha 66, the offshoot from Brigade 2506 that did the Bay of Pigs invasion. They'd be out there testing their AR-15's and pistols before going on a raid against Castro. Sometimes they'd let us fire their weapons or they'd throw a pineapple grenade into the canal. Cool stuff for a 15-year-old. The Cubans hate the Commies. Wolfhag |
