Hangup in Havana – Battle of Cuba
The date is March 1, 1985. Havana remains NATO’s final bastion in Cuba, heavily fortified and bracing for a decisive Soviet assault. U.S. forces hold key positions in the city, reinforced by entrenched mechanized units and supported by a carrier strike group offshore. Intelligence confirms three Newport-class LSTs are approaching with additional armor—if they land, breaking NATO’s hold will become far more difficult. Soviet naval forces have been tasked with neutralizing coastal defenses and securing a beachhead for the amphibious landing. Airborne and mechanized units will push inland, seizing vital infrastructure and cutting off NATO’s retreat. With enemy air and naval support still active, swift and decisive action is required to ensure victory. Commander, your orders are clear: cripple NATO’s defenses, prevent enemy reinforcements, and seize Havana before they can regroup. Expect fierce resistance—victory here will determine the fate of Cuba.
