    Cuba: Starts building Missiles
    JFK: I don’t like where this is going

    • @TheArklyte
      @TheArklyte 3 роки тому +40

      Just don't listen to CIA's advice on that one. Give Castro a "small loan" of billion dollars to rejuvenate economy, use part of it to pay back the former plantation and property owners, who left the country during revolution. Not only would it be AMERICAN missiles in Cuba, but by 80's Cuba would be 51st(53rd? People warry in what they consider one) state.

    I think it's possible to outright win, although it would take ages. Don't join faction, deliberately allow AI to take a port, and then kill troops immediately after they land in the port (game gives them low org during shipping). Make sure to put maintenance support companies on your divisions, for the equipment capture.
    RADAR helps with detecting ships, so use that + night-only missions to naval bomb, should speed things up a little. It will still take a long time. Once you have other important techs (despite limited slots), you can go to sub 3 or 4 and use 3 dockyards to crank some out. Unlike deployed air wings, ship losses take manpower to replace, so you can use very hard to detect subs to lay mines --> sink ships and 0 manpower AI won't replace them.
    Eventually (and I mean probably several decades), you can zero out the AI manpower even on scraping the barrel, after which it won't be able to make new divisions. If you think this sounds awful, that's because it is awful.
