I've always loved history and what ifs. I don't like war, but I like wargaming, for many reasons. Now that Fidel died, he, the last remnant of the Cold War, I thought about combining it. A Bay of Pigs wargame.

I read a book called. "A decision for Disaster" back in 2000 about a CIA operative who help train the Brigade 2506 and landed on the beach with them.
Should be a fun project to game.
"Peace" is that brief, glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading.
