Russian Civil War

[Natxo]

Hi everybody:

I have been painting miniatures to play the Russian Civil War for a while, and now I have enough to fight small battles between Red and White forces.
Here you have some pics:

I´m sorry for the size of the pics.

What figures are the sailors?

[Natxo]

The sailors are from the WWI range, the German sailors for East Africa.
The leader is from that set and the standard bearer is just a sailor with the rifled cut and a banner pole made of wire.

Excellent - this is intriguing really - I can remember being fascinated by the RCW during history lessons many years ago - but haven't really thought of gaming it...do you have any decent sources / suggestions for where to start? What OOB are you using / rules?

Hmm...

Suspect that Nik has a shiny new project.

Well, sorry for such a delay.

As a source for Russian Civil War I must recommend Red Victory, by W. Bruce Lincoln. It is a very easy to read and full of ideas for scenarios.

I started thinking in this period due to Perfect Captain,s RED ACTIONS, and now I´m using a version of Blitzkrieg Commander.

Excellent - if you've got any notes for your BKC version, I'd really appreciated a copy: that's what I'd use to game it. This one is on my to-do list for next year, so I should start thinking about it now

Well...that didn't help 

This just moved up onto my 2011 to-do list

Remember, they can also be used as part of the Chinese Civil War and AVBCW at a push .
