A fleet sits beside Havana, yet the campaign initially offers no invasion command for Cuba. Havana is described as one of the island's largest ports, so the result clashes with the expectation that nearby sea power should enable the attack. Ships move among Cuban ports to extend the blockade while the campaign's requirements are tested. The model treats maritime presence, blockade, and invasion authorization as separate conditions. The episode exposes a campaign abstraction and cautions against reading its events as literal history.
