Venezuela makes claims to some other islands too I believe.

Tho’ they’re quite dated now, my friends and I used to play the heck out of all the numbered “Fleet” games by Victory Games.

IIRC the Carribean scenarios, gaining a marginal victory on points by staying aloat for more than a week was about all that the p*ssant powers could do and that was when they were rolling the dice well.
That was also assuming that the US was extremely busy elsewhere in the world fighting one and a half to two wars at once.

Course those games were based on the near 600 ship Navy we had back then too...

Great games, very intense, especially the North Atlantic ones, defending the GIUK gaps against Soviet sub surges from their Far North, trying to maintain a CAP line against Backfire attacks on our convoys, taking the 2nd Fleet into the Barents to attack the Bear in his lair (like getting naked, smearing your self with honey and standing under a bee’s nest doing the pinata thing!).
