The Skim: government skims 2 from the Syndicate. No cash to deposit.
Support Phase Shockingly, Government support is less than 18 so Alliance degrades to Reluctant and Aid goes down to 5.
Civic Action: the government can spend resources to build support in government-controlled spaces with both Troops and Police. 4 resources per shift. @Inquisitor
Agitation: 26July can spend resources to build opposition in 26July-controlled spaces, but there are none that aren't already at active opp.
Expat Backing: Directorio will Rally in Camaguey to place a base.
Redeploy Phase
After buying Civic Actions the government can move around pieces as directed by the rules. Everything is in a city or with a base so there are no forced moves.
Reset Phase
Everyone goes eligible and the one closed casino opens.
Yo event deck, got any of that good good pro government shit tucked away in there? :P
They'll show up -- you see nearly every card in the game in Cuba Libre.
I know I know, I'm just being a fussy britches.
It's always interesting and stressful (but in a fun way) to play the waning power in these kind of games. Most board games have you ramping up over the course of the affair. At least I know the crumbling of my raw power is mostly inevitable. It's just about getting the most out of what I have while I have it, which is a fun brain burner.

@Inquisitor I'd really like that Ambassador Smith event to take place. If I leave you to be first eligible on that card, will you play the event, or do I need to do it myself?
I’ll fire the event but keep in mind this turn 26July could fire the event to remove 2 DR/syndicate guerrillas and keep me from being eligible next turn.

Right? You obviously should've opened your casino in friendly Mantanzas.
Should've sent a guerrilla to an EC for +3 resources.
You kind of still can with Construct + Profit, but it requires Cash.
It has such a friendly name!
Redeploy 1 police from Havana and 1 police from Camaguey City into Las Villas.
Redploy 2 troops from Las Villas to Santiago de Cuba.

@A Half Eaten Oreo for 2nd eligible on Eloy etc.
I was hoping you'd be tempted by this more than by the event.
Time to flush some riff-raff.
Limited Action: Sweep
Sweep in target location Santiago de Cuba costing 3 resources.
Reposition no cubes. However, both 26 July pieces there are now activated.
That ends this turn
