Invasion of Cuba 1762
I am going to the Cotswold gaming day in October I was going to put on my Louisbourg game but I wanted
to have a more fast paced game for the day.
This is from an idea by Stuart Insch from one of his books.
So as a practice I have laid out some figures and forts to see if it works.
I am going to move the fort near the sea.

Splendid set-up - and kudos for working in the new church already!

I'm liking that!
Re: Invasion of Cuba 1762
Lovely stuff, Willz.
I thought that invading Cuba wasn't invented until 1961? Or was it a seasonal thing, like Pommy beach parties at Bondi?

If "The System" is the answer, who asked such a bloody stupid question?
Re: Invasion of Cuba 1762
The capture of Havana during the SYW was an attempt to gain bargaining chips / leverage in the eventual peace talks. Settlement was usually in the small change of Caribbean islands and other overseas territories; the former were valuable due to the sugar trade.....
There was another Cuban invasion in 1898.........well before 1961...
BTW, nice work Willz.

Re: Invasion of Cuba 1762
And how! In 1763, Britain seriously considered handing back "New France" (ie Canada) in exchange for a couple of fairly innocuous "spice islands".Panzer21 wrote: ↑Wed Aug 14, 2024 8:10 am The capture of Havana during the SYW was an attempt to gain bargaining chips / leverage in the eventual peace talks.
