The idea about the oil platforms also is a good one - they are abandoned so the Cubans could salvage them and put them back into operation - maybe even offer MilGov or CivGov a share of the oil in return for the Cubans "protecting" the oil platforms from pirates or marauders.

Not to mention the Cubans might have enough boats available to try and start up some influence-building by trading all over Florida. Not conquest, but certainly building friendly ties. We've seen that the post-Castro junta there is not willing to fight the Yankees directly, but maybe a soft approach?
Now, if that carrier hulk that some of us are talking about is still grounded off Key West as a MilGov (Navy) outpost, we have the workings of a Gulf campaign.
