Man, I glossed over that completely. Where in the rules is it? Does this also apply to ADP? I might have been playing these wrong for a while.

Lord Frisk posted:Does CL have this rule? I thought this was introduced with FitL via the "Monsoon" rules. The rules are different per each game: CL: The card before final Propaganda, all Operations are Limited FitL: The card before every Coup card, no faction can Sweep or March and Air Strike and Air Lift are limited to 2 spaces (other operations are not limited) I believe ADP has the "no sweep or march" for Final Propaganda as well.

Turn 46.2 Syndicate March 1 guerrilla from the Factory EC to Camaguey province. Camaguey province is now Uncontrolled (was DR controlled). DR Control + Bases is now 9.  Current Card  The Llano (literally “a plain or flat space”) was a term for the Cuban urban underground. While the popular myth of the Cuban Revolution emphasized the victory of Fidel’s guerrillas in the mountains, recent scholarship has emphasized the importance of the urban revolution in Cuba. The poor and middle class provided both urban guerrillas and material aid to the insurgent groups in rural areas. Next Card  5 cards remain in the deck. Final Propaganda is the next card! All Operations Limited!  M26 to act! Choose one of the following:- Limited Operation - Pass You have 7 resources. Deadline for action will be 23:59 GMT / 23:59 EST on Saturday 11th March.

Government Civic Action in Santiago de Cuba. Santiago de Cuba is now at Active Support. Total Support is now 17. DR use Expat Backing to Rally in Camaguey province. DR Control + Bases is now 10. DR are the only faction to have reached their victory threshold at final scoring. The DR win! Thanks for playing everyone, I had fun running this and will definitely do another at some point, most likely an all vs all game of A Distant Plain. I have some other commitments coming up which means it may not be for a while though, so in the meantime enjoy the coda (especially since Tekopo's Syndicate victory text got sadly eaten by Radium's code). On the 23rd March 1958, a radio broadcast was made by the Directorio Revolutionario that the entire countryside of Cuba was in the hands of the liberal revolutionaries, and that all Cubans should lay down their arms and join the march on Havana to oust Batista. To the surprise of many, including by some accounts Directorio leader Echeverria, this broadcast resonated enormously with the war-weary rural people, ground down by years of violent conflict and terrors. Events escalated quickly, as Directorio forces gathered any who would join them on a march to Havana. As the mass of people approached the capital city, the dictator Batista fled the country in the late hours by boat to the Dominican Republic, taking his vast fortune with him and leaving a gaping power vacuum behind. With the capital taken in a brief struggle with demoralised and underfunded government forces, as promised the Directorios first order of business was liberalisation of the country and immediate elections. Many in inner circle of the DR felt that this was a mistake, and that things should be done gradually in order to preserve order, but Echeverria was clear on the matter: "The Cuban people have not spilt the blood of their countrymen so they can be told what to say or think by another tyrant." Another issue that bitterly divided the liberal guerrillas was what to do with the Castros and the waning 26th July Movement. Hardliners like Eloy Gutierrez Menoyo demanded that the M26 should be crushed immediately, or they would be a thorn in the side of the new government forever. Echeverria demurred, deciding on a course of lenience and amnesty for any Marxist guerrilla who came forward. Fidel and Raul eventually gave themselves up in the jungles of Oriente, but some, including Che, fought to the bitter end and were killed in a last stand in the Sierra Maestra. The first elections saw exiled president Carlos Prio riding to victory on a platform of social and economic liberalisation, but any joy was sadly short lived. US interests pulled money and business out of Cuba, plunging the war-torn country into a deep recession. DR crackdowns on gambling and drugs caused mob operations to also leave the country; a good thing to the eyes of many, but a move that also served to strangle the tourism industry in the country. Things were not much better politically, as the enormity of the task of uniting the many disparate factions of the Directorio became clear to its leaders. Trying to please the former urban guerrillas, Escopoteros and students, not to mention the other groups still at large in the country, was something that proved impossible for the new president, who resigned after a agricultural subsidy scandal only three years into his term. Echeverria was elected as his replacement, only to suffer an even more ignominious fate than his predecessor; assassinated in a coup attempt at the height of labour riots, allegedly at the behest of the CIA. From the shadows emerged an unlikely figure to take the reins of the country; none other than Raul Castro, ably assisted by his brother at the head of the Cuban Communist Party. Uniting support of rural peasants and the urban poor who felt they had been left behind by the economic failures of the new regime, the Castro swept to victory in a surprise result that left the world stunned, not least the USA who were allededly behind another failed coup attempt that occurred shortly after Castro's election. President Raul was never able to overcome the issues that plagued the liberal regime before him, and so lost 8 years later to former DR leader Rodriguez Loeches, only for Fidel Castro to succeed in his bid for the presidency 4 years later in a bitterly fought campaign. In the meantime, Cuba managed to achieve a sort of stability by playing on both the USA and USSR and extracting aid from each - neither superpower happy with the situation but neither willing to let the other take the upper hand in the game between them. The economy recovered and wealth distribution improved from the lows of the Batista era, but instability had inflicted a heavy toll on the Cuban people, with many wealthier and educated citizens crossing the Straits of Florida to the USA or even further afield. While the knowledge that Little Havana's have a place in many cities across the globe, many Cubans certainly have felt the pinch of a country whose brightest left when they could and took their money with them. And so Cuba endures, balancing endlessly on a tightrope between superpowers, between liberals and communists, between the demands of ideals and necessity. Many worry that it is not a balancing act that can be kept up forever, and that one day Cuba will plunge back into the turmoil of revolution. Others are more optimistic, including a new cohort of youths for whom Batista and the revolution are not a memory. Beneath the surface, tensions still simmer from grievances not solved by either the revolution or its aftermath, in a peace that has not excluded yet not totally satisfied any. But still, for now, Cuba endures.
