We played this game using Osprey's Black Ops rules. The scenario was cobbled together just before the game.
New oil deposits have been found in the tiny South American country of San Theodoros. The Presidente, Alejandro Caliente, looks like he is going to grant concessions the Blue Lotus corporation. The international community is not pleased, and various powers intervene, in particular the British. This has nothing to do with the long-standing British South-American Petrol's interests in the area, but nevertheless Royal Marines land and start to take control of vital assets.
Presidente Alejandro pleads with Blue Lotus to get him to safety, and they contract the Implement firm of private military contractors (who many be looking for a new marketing department).
Late at night, a four car convoy heads to a seduced airport, but are warned of a roadblock ahead. The cars pull up, and consulting a map shows the airport can also be reached cross county.
Everyone piles out of the cars. The portly figure of Alejandro can be seen next to his assistant Veronica, (rumoured to account for 0.8% of the aid budget). Also running to the front of the car is the president's trusty personal bodyguard, Hector.

The fugitives have a few choices here. They can get back in their cars and drive across the bridge or they can sneak across country. Not knowing if the bridge is guarded, Hector chooses the latter course. He can be seen leading the way here.

Thanks Juergen, I am painting up some 1970-80s Cubans at the moment. For Africa, the Caribbean, anywhere.
