Cuba

[hellfish6 7]

Don't the Cubans also have a regiment or two of T-72s?

Maximus, heres a way to add res objects (and blackdog, its also a way to avoid cutpbo)

Get pbodecryptor and makepbo by Amalfi (should be at ofp.info).

Then unpack o.pbo, and set it up to pack again, with the same name, with makepbo. In MakePbo properties, uncheck every box, including "resistance.pbo", so no files are compressed (or it would take all day ).

Then just take your new O.pbo, place it in your normal ofp dta folder, load up wrpedit and you will have access to everything. Just remove it to somewhere like main ofp directory before loading up ofp, to avoid some errors and memory mapping probs.

Nope, T-62's are the most modern tanks in service in any Latin American country. They were very successful against South African armour when they were sent to Angola.

I wonder if Cuba ever realized that if it ever came to war with the US, it doesn't matter how many trenches they dug or how many tanks they had, Cuba is a mere 90 miles from the US. The USAF would reduce Cuba's Armed forces to the point where the boy scouts could land and take Havana with their pellet guns.

Plus, a CAG, the 82nd Airborne and 2 Marine MEU's could beat a handful of T-62s and PT-76s.

Ehem yes but if the U.S tried anything they would get nuked so i guess it was a lose-lose situation

And yeah if we have three airports atleast one of them should be "pre-jet" Since many airports here in Sweden are just that. Since not many companies/private persons use jets and we dont have any civilian jet aircraft yet so. But i agree that Cuba is fairly developed. I also hear it's one of the countries in Latin amercia with the highest welfare.

Who'd nuke us?

Batista had full support of the US military when the only "tanks" the rebels had were some farm tractors and bulldozers with steel plates welded on as armour and mounted machine guns. A lot of good that did his regime. In David vs Goliath scenarios, sometimes David wins.

Yes, of course Cubans know that if it came out to all out war with the US they would loose, but many thought that was exactly what was happening when the Bay of Pigs began, and they still fought.

In the Cold War days, the Soviets had pleged to protect Cuba from the US. One of the conditions that ended the Missile Crisis was that the US would promise never to invade Cuba.

[Koolkid101 0]

Even though the soviet unions gone?

What point are you trying to make? Are you asking who'd nuke the US if it were to attack Cuba now or during the cold war. Now nobody would, though of course, the US would be going back on it's word if it ever did, but that'd be no surprize considering all the lovely things they have done in Latin America. Plus at the moment Bush is threatening action against Cuba if another refugee exodus takes place..all the while tightening sanctions which - guess what - are likely to cause a refugee exodus - and at the same time Castro is demonstrating just how much he wants an exodus to occur by executing boat hijackers trying to leave the country

Say I add a bridge, is there any way I can set the hight?

Also, when I try to add certain textures from the eden folder, it wont load into the list box of textures, others do, but just a few wont. Do I need to depbo eden and then repack it like the 0.pbo?

I don't remember seeing any bridges when I was in Cuba (actually I've been there 3 times), however when we were driving to my hotel in Cayo Coco (the northern island), there was a "bridge", which was a long strip of man-placed land with pavement.

[Hit_Sqd_Maximus 0]

Well, I was thinking about a bridge between 2 mountains, I saw a pic of it. Is this in cuba?

Some look like you can warp straight through them to the other side.

I said I didn't see a bridge, and I put quotations on bridge because a dirt strip with a road isn't exactly a bridge, but serves the same purpose.

I was just ribbing you because it sounded that since you didn't see any bridges, you were assuming they didn't exist in Cuba . No offense.

Yesturday i saw a program on TV about Cuba and i must say that it really looks like a nice place to visit!

*bump*

Does anyone have any more info on when this island is out/given up/ whatever?

thx,

the_unknown_one

[Shashman 0]

Jeez the way some of you are speaking just amazes me...The ignorance of some people

Cuba is a very nice country and is not just some dump in the Carribbean like some of you yanks seem to picture it as...Its medical service is better than the US one and so is the level of education and standards...

I'd like to see how America would do if it had the sanctions Cuba has imposed on her

[ralphwiggum 6]
