Russian Population

Hello everyone!
This is just a fun little scenario I created in my spare time, when a) I don’t have 1914 and b) I wanted the scale to be bigger. So without further ado, I give you my G40 Russian Civil War.
I will post the setup shortly for those who are interested in giving this whirl. Of course, let me know what could change to make this scenario a little smoother. Feedback is always welcome!

G40 Russian Civil War

Turn Order:
Bolsheviks (1940 Russian pieces)
White Army (1914 Russian pieces with 1940 Italian mech infantry OR 1940 Italian pieces)
Separatists (1914 OR 1940 German pieces)

Winning the Game:
The game will last until either Russian faction wins by controlling of Russian territories. The Separatists win if at the end of 10 rounds none of their territories are occupied by the Bolsheviks. If this does not occur, then the Separatists become a strict neutral power, and all original Separatist territories cannot be entered. All Separatist units on the board are also removed.

British Karelia:
As part of the Allied intervention during the civil, Britain had deployed troops to occupy Murmansk before withdrawing them in October of 1919.
The territory Karelia is a British minor power controlled by the White Army player, with a starting setup of 4 infantry and 2 artillery. White Army units may move into and through Karelia. British units may move into and through White Army territories as well as invade Bolshevik territories. To receive reinforcements, British Karelia may roll one die and add, in any combination-
1 infantry per dot
2 mechanized infantry per 2 dots
1 artillery per 3 dots
At the end of the third round of the game, British Karelia, along with any territory occupied by British forces becomes a White Army territory. Remove all British units on the board. In their place, place 2 White Army infantry each territory formally owned by British Karelia.

The Separatists:
The Separatist are made up of countries formerly part of the Russian Empire and are at war with the Bolsheviks.
Separatist units cannot move outside of Separatist territories unless invading and capturing a Bolshevik territory. If the Separatist go strict neutral, territories captured by them are up for grabs for whoever moves into them first. The Separatists do not require factories to build units.

Czechoslovak Legions:
The Czechoslovakian Legions had been part of the Russian Army, and during the civil war were allowed to leave to France. However, they ended up dispersed along the Trans-Siberian, and the Bolsheviks set out to disarm and arrest them.
Czechoslovakian Legion infantry are controlled by the White Army player and are able to move unlimited spaces through the territories of Russia, Samara, Novosibirsk, Timguska, Yenisey, Yakut, Buryatia, and Amur. These territories do not need to be controlled by the White Army. If it is hostile controlled, however, combat begins. Outside of those territories, Czechoslovak Legion infantry can only move 1 space. The Czechoslovak Legions cannot be rebuilt.

Unit Restrictions:
Only infantry, mechanized infantry, and artillery can be built in this game.

Unit Stats:
Infantry- Attack @ 2 Defend @ 2 Move @ 1 Cost 3
Mechanized Infantry- Attack @ 2 Defend @ 1 Move @ 2 Cost 4
Artillery- Attack @ 3 Defend @ 3 Move @ 1 (2 when paired with Mechanized Infantry) Cost @ 5

1940 combat rules, not the 1914 combat rules.

Give Russia a starting fleet!  :evil:

For use in games when the bosphorus and sz 16 “the Black Sea” is closed to all surface ships (only subs can pass through.)

Add 1 Russian Battleship, 1 destroyer and 1 transport to sz 16.

Add 1 Cruiser and 1 transport to the Caspian sea which becomes a normal sz.

Now the Russians have a little mini fleet of their own! This bolstered Soviet navy gives them a new attack route into Romania and a few chances to conduct annoying bombardments into Ukraine, Romania, Persia or Kazakh!

The fleet is still fairly small, and it can’t “escape” into the open ocean, but it gives the Russians a few more sculpts to play with. Axis still have air attack options against this new Russian navy (and sub attacks in the case of the Black Sea) but it gives them another distraction on the march towards Moscow.

Who knows maybe the Russians could even buy a carrier deck at some point, if they manage to keep their Black Sea fleet alive, for late game transports against G?

Finally because sz 16 is open to subs it is even possible for the Red October to sail all the way from sz 4 to sz 16, to link up with the main fleet! This would serve no real purpose at all, but would surely be deamed a grand accomplishment worthy of Soviet prestige hehe.
:-D

What do you guys think? You like idea of a little Russian naval action?

This is the chart I use. @SS:

This is in our game.

Turn 1   Fall/Winter  39-40
Turn 2   Spring/Summer  40
Turn 3   Fall  40                        Rasputitsa
Turn 4   Winter  40-41             Winter
Turn 5   Spring  41
Turn 6   Summer  41                Monsoon
Turn 7   Fall  41                        Rasputitsa
Turn 8   Winter  41-42             Winter
Turn 9   Spring  42  
Turn 10 Summer  42                Monsoon
Turn 11 Fall  42                        Rasputitsa
Turn 12 Winter  42-43             Winter
Turn 13 Spring  43
Turn 14 Summer  43                Monsoon
Turn 15 Fall  43                        Rasputitsa
Turn 16 Winter  43-44             Winter
Turn 17 Spring  44           Nothing after turn 16

Winter: You can declare 2 winters during the game, but it has to match the winter season on above chart. The Russian winter is effective only on USSR territories. As a defender, USSR infrantry and artillery defend at 3 or less in first round of combat. As attacker, USSR infrantry attack at 2 or less.

Rasputitsa: During the fall using above chart, the USSR player can declare it rasputitsa during the non combat move phase of your enemy and roll 1 dice. If you get a 3 or less, your enemy won’t be able to make any ground non combat moves. Only effective on USSR territories.

Monsoon: During the summer using above chart you roll1 dice and if you get 3 or less, you cannot move ground troops in Yunnan,Burma, India, and Indochina.

Hitler should of just attacked in the spring. LOL

You could use the US chart in this post for US and Japan.

The rule did change for Russia.

They’re here.  We’re also experimenting with allowing the Central Powers to turn down the armistice, but that’s not entirely official yet.

Summon Flashman in 3… 2… 1…

@Imperious:

Also, no allied units are allowed to enter in original Russian territories once the revolution begins.

These, here. Allied units already in Russia: is it the Siberian holiday camp for them?

Haha, way to make me reconsider the idea! I can see the potential now, even puppet state control markers!

i play with the winter, infantry are effected also- need a pair of 1’s to get a hit. also spring means mud in russia so all axis tanks move 1 space instead of 2.
