It was only useful for sending objects into the future, as sending an object even a few minutes into the past caused a buildup of flux energy. If an object was sent any further back than that, the arrival of the object would overheat the capacitor and start an electrical fire.

| abstract | - The Cuban Missile Crisis was an event that occurred in October 1962 during the Cold War. Until the aftermath of the Virtuous Mission and Operation Snake Eater, it was the event that brought the world the closest to nuclear war.
- After the US had placed nuclear missiles in Turkey, aimed at Moscow, and the failed US attempt to overthrow the Cuban regime, in May 1962 Nikita Khrushchev proposed the idea of placing Soviet nuclear missiles on Cuba to deter any future invasion attempt. During a meeting between Khrushchev and Fidel Castro that July, a secret agreement was reached and construction of several missile sites began in the late summer. These preparations were noticed by the Defense Intelligence Agency, which on October 14 tasked an Air Force-operated U-2 aircraft to scan the suspected areas in Cuba, securing clear photographic evidence of medium-range and intermediate-range ballistic nuclear missiles (MRBMs and IRBMs) on the ground. The United States considered attacking Cuba via air and sea, but decided on a military blockade instead, calling it a "quarantine" for legal and other reasons. The US announced that it would not permit offensive weapons to be delivered to Cuba, while demanding the dismantlement and return of Soviet weapons back to the USSR. The Kennedy administration held only a slim hope that the Kremlin would agree to their demands, and expected a military confrontation. These fears were underpinned by the October 24, 1962 letter of Soviet Premier Khrushchev to President John F. Kennedy, in which he stated that the US blockade of "navigation in international waters and air space" constituted "an act of aggression propelling human kind into the abyss of a world nuclear-missile war". However, in secret back-channel communications the President and Premier initiated a proposal to resolve the crisis. While the tense negotiations were taking place, several Soviet ships attempted to run the blockade, increasing tensions to the point that orders were sent out to US Navy ships to fire warning shots and then open fire. On October 27, a U-2 plane was shot down by a Soviet missile crew, an action that could have resulted in immediate retaliation from the Kennedy crisis cabinet, according to Secretary of Defense McNamara's later testimony. Kennedy stayed his hand and the negotiations continued. The confrontation ended on October 28, 1962, when Kennedy and United Nations Secretary-General U Thant reached an agreement with Khrushchev. Publicly, the Soviets would dismantle their offensive weapons in Cuba and return them to the Soviet Union, subject to United Nations verification, in exchange for a US public declaration and agreement never to invade Cuba. Secretly, the US also agreed that it would dismantle all US-built Jupiter IRBMs, armed with nuclear warheads, which were deployed in Turkey and Italy against the Soviet Union. After the removal of the missiles and Ilyushin Il-28 light bombers from Cuba, the blockade was formally ended at 6:45 pm EST on November 20, 1962. The tense negotiations between the United States and the Soviet Union pointed out the necessity of a quick, clear and direct communication between Washington and Moscow. As a result, a direct telephone link between the leaders of the two countries was established.

- The Cuban missile crisis — known as the October crisis in Cuba and the Caribbean crisis (Russian: Kарибский кризис, tr.

It was one of the major confrontations of the Cold War, and is generally regarded as the moment in which the Cold War came closest to turning into a nuclear conflict. It is also the first documented instance of the threat of mutual assured destruction (MAD) being discussed as a determining factor in a major international arms agreement. After the USA had placed nuclear missiles in Turkey, aimed at Moscow, and the failed US attempt to overthrow the Cuban regime (Bay of Pigs, Operation Mongoose), in May 1962 Nikita Khrushchev proposed the idea of placing Soviet nuclear missiles on Cuba to deter any future invasion attempt. During a meeting between Khrushchev and Fidel Castro that July, a secret agreement was reached and construction of several missile sites began in the late summer. Such a move would also neutralize the US's advantage of having missiles in Turkey. These preparations were noticed and on October 14, a US U-2 aircraft took several pictures clearly showing sites for medium-range and intermediate-range ballistic nuclear missiles (MRBMs and IRBMs) under construction. These images were processed and presented on October 15, which marks the beginning of the 13-day crisis from the US perspective. The United States considered attacking Cuba via air and sea, but decided on a military blockade instead, calling it a "quarantine" for legal and other reasons. The US announced that it would not permit offensive weapons to be delivered to Cuba, demanded that the Soviets dismantle the missile bases already under construction or completed, and return all offensive weapons to the USSR. The Kennedy administration held only a slim hope that the Kremlin would agree to their demands, and expected a military confrontation. On the Soviet side, Premier Nikita Khrushchev wrote in a letter from October 24, 1962, to President John F. Kennedy that his blockade of "navigation in international waters and air space" constituted "an act of aggression propelling human kind into the abyss of a world nuclear-missile war". However, in secret back-channel communications the President and Premier initiated a proposal to resolve the crisis.

The Middle East remains neutral for the first two rounds but then joins Russia (The US/Europe cannot attack the Middle East until it attacks one of them first). The neutrals can move and build but not attack or share territories with allies until round 3. Special Rules
* All Chinese and Middle East territories are worth 3 each
* Germany is worth 6
* All unused territories are neutral and worth 0 Technology: No new technologies can be obtained.
* USA has super subs and long-range aircraft
* Russia has super subs and long-range aircraft
* China has industrial production
* Middle East and Europe have no extra technology
* Russia, US and Europe have nuclear capability
* AA guns are now used as nuclear launchers. They cost 30 IPC. The only ones in existance at the beginning are in Cuba and Turkey. Launchers have a range of 3. Nukes cost 20 IPC's (Russia and USA start with 1 each). Nukes can also be carried and dropped by bombers (bomber must land in a friendly territory and may not be used in any other manner Nukes automatically destroy 5 units in a territory and permanently reduce the worth 5 IPC's (Note: Defender must lose at least 1 air unit and 1 armor if they have them)
* Bombers can also be used as air transports (1 infantry only). If they are used to transport, they may not be involved in battle (they can take hits though)
* Subs can go through the polar passage Play Order, Starting Income, Capitals & Colors
* Russia (31; Moscow) - Dark Brown
* USA (36; East USA) - Yellow
* Europe (35; UK) - Green
* Middle East (21; S. Arabia) - Light Brown
* China (12; China) - Grey Map: Starting setup Russia Dark Brown + 1 sub off coast of ECanada and 1 sub in North Pacific (Sz marked "North") United States Green + a transport & a carrier (with 1 ftr) in the Suez; a sub in the mid atlantic Europe Light Brown Middle East Grey China Yellow If you play this scenario, please email me at thebakers23@yahoo.com and tell me how it went. Remarks (by thrasher) The scenario has some ambiguities. Turkey is not assigned an income, but based on the US total it should be 1. Spain is not assigned an income, but based on the UK total it should be 6.
- The North Atlantic Treaty Organization, which then consisted of 15 countries including the United States, 13 European countries, and Britain, had been formed to resist pressure by the Soviet Union to reduce freedom and nuclear weapons in industrialized countries. NATO soon began to build up nuclear bases in Europe to gain a larger share of nuclear weaponry and thus greater control over which side of Earth would get scorched first. The communist nations of the world thus suddenly faced a unified bloc of freedom and nuclear weapon exporters. In April 1961, a group of completely random Cuban anti-communist exiles who were absolutely not trained by the CIA in any manner whatsoever—since were they actually supported by the U.S. government, their Air Force would actually have sent some decent aircraft along—attempted to take southern Cuba in an invasion of the Bay of Pigs. The Cuban armed forces were able to distract them with bacon, and the invasion failed after three days. This caused wariness on the part of the U.S., the USSR, and Cuba. In September 1962, the Soviet Union therefore decided that they would strengthen their defenses in and around Cuba. This new event triggered a crisis that was already about to explode—the price of nuclear warheads in Cuba was going to rise drastically. Already, nuclear weapons production had begun to peak, and Cuba was becoming more and more dependent on foreign exporters; however, the newly ignited Cold War was going to worsen matters. This was stressed privately by President Kennedy:
- Emmett accepted the offer, as he needed funding for his inventions, and showed them his prototype time machine, the temporal field capacitor. It was only useful for sending objects into the future, as sending an object even a few minutes into the past caused a buildup of flux energy. If an object was sent any further back than that, the arrival of the object would overheat the capacitor and start an electrical fire. Colonel Lomax was skeptical, and noted that they were seeking for a way to travel to the past, not the future. Emmett told them that with the right resources, he would be able to fix the problem in no time. The two men are interested, and Groves informs Emmett that he'll never have to worry about funding again. After Lomax and Groves left, Emmett had worries that he could be ushering in an arms race through time, coupled with his regrets about ushering in the nuclear arms race of the Cold War through his participation in the Manhattan Project. The next day, Emmett wrote himself a letter about his plans, and purposefully sent the letter back several months in the past, to August 1, when he knew that he and his dog, Copernicus, would be safe asleep in his fireproof garage. The Brown family mansion burned down, and on October 24, Lomax and Groves came and left in the new timeline without ever talking to Emmett. They were told by Goldie Wilson, who was there handing out flyers for his campaign for district council representative, that the mansion had burned down months prior and that most people believed that Emmett had done it himself for the insurance money. Groves expressed his disappointment that Emmett Brown had become an insurance thief, and Lomax stated that they should leave, as he was not the type of man that they would want to hire.

This speech included other key policy statements, beginning with: To halt this offensive buildup, a strict quarantine on all offensive military equipment under shipment to Cuba is being initiated. All ships of any kind bound for Cuba from whatever nation and port will, if found to contain cargoes of offensive weapons, be turned back. This quarantine will be extended, if needed, to other types of cargo and carriers. We are not at this time, however, denying the necessities of life as the Soviets attempted to do in their Berlin blockade of 1948. He ordered intensified surveillance, and cited cooperation from the foreign ministers of the Organization of American States (OAS). Kennedy "directed the Armed Forces to prepare for any eventualities; and I trust that in the interest of both the Cuban people and the Soviet technicians at the sites, the hazards to all concerned of continuing the threat will be recognized." He called for emergency meetings of the OAS and United Nations Security Council to deal with the matter. This was the closest there was to a war between the USA and the USSR
