Chauchat lmg's for the Poles?

[Jonnyboy]

Hi start off with a question, does anybody know what the lmg distribution among companies was like during the Russian Civil War? I'm guessing that Halder's Blue Army equipped in French fashion would have the Chauchat as a platoon support weapon by this stage.However what about the Russians (White and Reds)?, most photographs seem to focus on the ubiquitous Maxim and little else.

With this in mind Martin any chance of either a pack of WW1 Polish heads with the infantry peak-less field cap as below or could you do a pack  of the Chauchat gunners (181) and Assualt troops (184) with the Polish field cap?

Interesting video on just how successful the Chauchat was and goes someway to debunk the myth around the weapon, cared for with the correct French cartridges it was a fairly decent weapon.

PS Seeing as you have remastered the Russians is there any chance you will be remastering the Russian cavalry some time in the future as one piece castings?
