You could try asking the venue - but I'm not sure if that makes it tricky for them. The price is base rate as it is

I am interested but would a Turkish Army taking hypothetical advantage of Russia's attention being elsewhere be suitable? Elsewise I have no Army remotely linked into Russia. If so what about a Japanese Army trying to make hay for the same reason?

I did do a short search on google and couldn't find anything related to Turkey but did find some stuff about the Japanese taking some Siberian territory near Vladivostok "supporting" the White Russians and landed 70,000 troops for this purpose. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_intervention_in_Siberia  and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siberian_intervention.  Interesting. The second article briefly sets out other forces from the rest of the world and what they contributed/did.  Could even field my Italians who fought with the  Czechoslovak Legion.

I plead ignorance in the period on a world scale and yes, don't believe everything I see on wikipedia!  Any clarifications?

I think if I did "play" it would probably be with my Italians who I know did get involved or maybe a Japanese army who sent 70k troops to "help" the whites. This has a certain amount of interest.

Would involve an amount of research and painting a new army (horrible thought at present). Haven't managed to find any specific info so far on the composition apart from overall numbers (just shy of 4k)

Hello,
How many figures are required for these armies?

I fancy the Ukranian Peasents Army just because of current events.

Best wishes,
Martin Buck

SimonC

4 bases of 3/4 figures - let's say 3
Professional armies about 10 battalions -120 figures
Conscript armies about 15-20 - 200-240 figures

Handful of MGs and artillery guns

i've spent a happy hour or so working out a couple of lists for my RCW project, one white and one red. Either will stand me in goood stead for the game day. Some questions for the room please.

1. What are tchanka's classed as in the rules? light a/c?
2. 'Colourful' regiments - was this an official designation, or just a way to refer to some of the more oddly coloured white units?
3. Would red units have exclusively the peaked hat, or a mix of headwear? I assume a mix.
4. Am I right in thinking the Czech Legio fought for the whites?
5. Did the Womens Death Battalions fight during the RCW or just the First World War? I realise they were few in number, but they would add character to an army!
