"The union of all the new
State formations in Russia, and of all
Russians who understand and care for the
interests of the State, is all
the more possible because the Volunteer Army has
no reactionary aims in
view, and does not decide beforehand what the future form of the State
in Russia shall be, nor even in what way the Russian
nation shall declare its will"
(Speech by General Denikin to the Rada of the Land of Kuban, 14 November, 1918)  What 'ya got for us, Cap'n?
We have completely outdone ourselves this
time!
What
if I told you this was a campaign gamethat takes maybe 30 minutes to create from scratch, with limitless scenarios, a different map each and every time, and has counters representing the following armies and their equipment: Reds (All over Russia), Whites (Kolchak, Deniken, Wrangel, Yudenich, Komuch, Kappelites etc), Greens (Mahknovists), Estonians, Latvians, Finns, Lithuanians, Ukrainians, Poles, Armenians, Turks, French, Greeks, Japanese, American, British Empire (Including Canadians, Australians, and Indians), and Freikorps.  What Scale?
Anywhere from Regimental up to
Divisional. You
decide (based on what you've got painted up in the way of figures!).
Turns represent roughly 1-2 days, and the "map" somewhere between
36-60km. What's the map like?
More than the usual goods. We have made a
map
system based on cards that plays as part of the campaign but also
dictates what the tabletop battle board looks like- no guess
work. A mapsheet is provided withlinked spaces 6 X 6. You choose cards
randomly to place on it and
create your own board. Special rules are provided for rivers and rail
lines.  How does it play?
The scenario
dictates one player to be the
aggressor who starts with the Strategic Initiative (SI). Each turn
players pick a Tactic: For the player with
SI it can be Probe Enemy Line, Assault and Hold, or
Breakthrough. His opponent chooses from a slightly more passive list, including Fighting Withdrawal, Hold,
and
Counterattack. Players then choose an order based on the Tactic for
each card space that has an officer
present. The player with the SI then
executes his orders one by one- if he plays an order which does not result in an engagement, then his opponent can act. If
the player with
the SI fails in a battle he may lose the SI to the other player, so plan carefully. Each player also receives
resources to spend on
Artillery and Aircraft missions, including bombardments of varying intensity, Bombing and Strafing, and even
Leaflet Drops!
   How
about
Chrome? Tanks of all
sorts, Armoured Cars, Aircraft,
Armoured Trains, and a whole passal of new armies AND new leaders AND new cards for troop types. Cards for terrain that
are named for
memorable geographical features- we've fought decisively over "The Dacha by the Lake" and "Hill
621" recently.....
