While I think having cuba be its own power would be cool, it would kind of like having New Zealand be its own power in g40. You would have to wonder how much they really contribute. Maybe you could make it so that the Warsaw Pact can pay to build units to support Castro and the gang in cuba, possibly at higher cost cuz of the blockades and embargoes and stuff, if the Warsaw pact is smart, like they were during the cold war, they’ll buff the hell out of cuba to prevent a traditional land invasion, and nukes aren’t always realistic. If they’re dumb then cuba will just be invaded and it will be an opportunity lost, which absolutely could have happened if the ussr wasn’t paying attention. I’m thinking about alternative rules where one or two players play each Nuetral category so it feels like they’re entities and not roadblocks, but I’ve got a ton of stuff I need to do before then soooooo… The setup for cuba will not change for balancing reasons, it accurately represents their power near it’s height, which was also the time when it was diplomatically plausible for the US to invade. For your expansion however, I recommend cuba starts the game Strict Nuetral with an army of one infantry.
Nova Games - China & France expansion?

I’m looking at an auction for Chinese and French counters for the original A&A by Nova Games. I vaguely recall being under the impression that the pieces were made but the rules and set up charts were never completed. Does anybody know for sure about this? I don’t think I want to spend money on pieces I can’t play with.

For $50 you can buy one here:

The Question is does it come with rules and set up charts or just pieces?

I couldn’t find anything available on the internet. Maybe you could call and ask the people that are selling it.
-
I have the Nova Games version and two sheets of those counters. Rules/Setup was never released for them.

Why would somebody make expansion pieces and not provide rules? Did Larry make these?
-
Nova Games was the original publisher of Axis & Allies (before Milton Bradley). They went out of business, and these counters were made shortly before going out of business. Only Larry would know what rules were intended for these….

$50 for a page of cardboard tokens!?!?!

That’s because they are OOP and collector’s items, just like that Honus Wagner baseball card.
