Russian Civil war is a multi-player
game with optional solitaire rules, but
this article uses the multi-player rules.
Up to six can play, and this article
reports on such a match-up. I have
changed the actual names of the players to correspond with Russian names
beginning with the letters “A” through
“F.” 1layer A is referred to as Aleksei,
player B is Boris, player C is Georgi, D is
Dmitri, E is Egor and player F is Fyodor.
Opening Trades
Egor trades White leader Rodzyanko
to Aleksei for Red leader Rykov.
Aleksei trades Smirnov, Sytin and
Slavin to Georgi for Wrangel.
Player order begins with Aleksei. (A
die was rolled and each player was
assigned 1-6. Aleksei was assigned “1”
S&T 267 | AFTER ACTION REPORT | MAR-APR 2011
and a one was rolled on the d6. Play
will continue in a clockwise fashion)
Turn One, June-October 1918
Aleksei

are three Polish Armies stacked in
Warsaw. One is lost to attrition.

Army (2). From Kirghiz, he moves
southward to Stavropol where he
stacks with Gen. Sidorin’s Army.
Combat
No combat actions are undertaken.
Randomizer
One critical city is controlled by
Aleksei’s White forces, Samara. This
allows 2 chits to be selected. The first
is the Felix Dzherinisky Assassin.
The second is British Control.
Aleksei marks the British units.
Fyodor
Event: General Strike. Expending
two of these markers allows one
to be first player for the turn.

departs from Omsk and moves to
Chelyabinsk, then to the Kazakh
Steppe and on to Turkestan where

there. In the Ukraine, Gen. Bela Kun
attaches the Red Army (3) in Grondo.
Combat
Gen. Voroshilov and the Red Army
in Pskov conduct a subversive
attack against the Central
Powers Army (3) in Vitebsk.
Note: Subversive Attacks symbolize
the demoralization of intervention
forces by means of propaganda
campaigns. It is generally safer than
regular combat for the attacker as
the attacker cannot take losses.
The attack is at 6-1 and is successful. The Central Powers unit is
eliminated as a combat force.
In Kharkov, Gen. May-Maevisky
and his White Army attack the
Nationalist forces (2) at 5-1 odds.
The Nationalist unit is eliminated.

Georgi
Fyodor controls Omsk, Sevastopol,
and Kharkov with White Armies
and selects 2 chits. The first is an
armored train. The train is deployed
with Admiral Kolchak in Omsk.
Then a Terror chit is selected. This
is useful in subversive attacks.
Egor’s White forces control Tashkent
and Archangel which allows two
chits to be drawn. The first is the
Anarchists Strike. The other is
Trans-Caucasus Control The TransCaucasus Control is favorable as
Egor’s Red troops occupy Baku. The
Anarchist Strike allows Egor to make
an attack with an anarchist unit.
Event: Epidemic Spreads to Mongolia.
The Nationalist Army (2) is eliminated
along with the Red Army (2). The
Chinese units are unaffected.
Egor
Event: Epidemic. An epidemic passes

subversive campaign aimed at the
Central Powers army (3) in Chernigov.
At 6-1 this is an automatic success.
The Central Powers unit becomes
demoralized and returns home.
In the Trans-Caucasus Region,
Red forces led by Gen. Rykov
and Sivers attack the British
contingent (Aleksei). This attack is
3-1. The British are wiped out.

from Krasnoyarsk to Novo-Nikolaevsk.
Combat
In Siberia, Gen. Blucher and
Bogomoletz conduct subversive
attacks against the Czech army
(3) in Omsk. This is a 2-1 attack.
It has no effect. The advantage of
the subversive attack is that there
is no chance of attacker losses.
Another subversive attack is launched
against the Central Powers Army
(3) in Poltava. The propaganda
campaign originates from the Red
forces in Kursk. This one is resolved
at 3-1 and is successful. The Central
Powers unit is eliminated.

Aleksei controls Samara which gains
two chits. The first is Comintern. The
