Massacre in Miami

An Invasion Florida scenario

As part of a grand invasion of the US, Cuban Communists (CuComms) landed in South Florida. They seized Homestead Air Force Base. Now a column advances through Miami. But Cuban exiles wait for a chance to strike back.

Opposing Forces

• CuComms - 3 regulars, 1 elite infantry (counts as bayonets), 1 light armor, and 1 helicopter (fire support)
• Cuban exiles - 2 irregulars, 1 unreliable irregulars, 1 zealous exiles (counts as bayonets). The front line exiles are in buildings (defensive advantage).

In addition, there is an American Air Force plane in the area that can provide fire support for the Americans.

The Battle

As the CuComm column advances through the streets of Miami, the exiles strike.

The zealous exiles rush out an destroy the armor. But the CuComm elite infantry wipe out the irregulars.

 

The elites then run off the exiles' reinforcements. However, an American Air Force plane that was circling the area has spotted the battle. It strikes the CuComms.

CuComm regulars drive off the zealous exiles.

Then more regulars get into the fray (left), driving off the last of the irregulars.

The Air Force jet breaks off. The CuComms can continue their advance.

GAME NOTES

• I need to create some streets.
• I played this with Dominion of Rice and Napalm
• I used the American rules for fire support for both sides in this battle. I did not think that a Communist opening bombardment made sense in this scenario.
