Cuba

Cuba is a faction appears in A.D 1861 and in A.D 1917 and its rated (★) and its difficulty is Medium in A.D 1861 and Hard in A.D 1917.

A.D 1861
Cuba only borders Spain and has close maritime borders with the Confederate States. You have 2 generals: Calixto Garcia (Infantry) and Gomez (Infantry). Your allies are the United States, Mexico, France, and Peru.

Strategy
Your main priority is Spain as you need to help France defeat Spain and then move on the Confederate States. There's really nothing else to talk about this island nation.

A.D 1917
Cuba borders no one but has close maritime borders with the United States and Mexico. Now you only have Gomez however you have a stronger army with two horwitzers and one heavy cavalry.

Strategy
It is very hard because you have lots of enemies (Empire of Brazil, United States and United Kingdom). Due to your close ally Mexico being easily defeated, without strong artillery generals (to stop troops landing) such as Ivanov and Hindenburg, it is almost impossible.
