Volunteer Army vs Reds

On Wednesday we started a quick game using our Russian Civil War figures and the TMWWBK Colinial rules.   More thought went into the terrain than the game but we wanted to get some figures on the table.

So here are some pretty pictures without too much explanation. The armies are my Reds and the Whites forces of my club mates at SSWG. 


The Reds have just beaten the VA troops to the village and hurriedly deployed somewhere in southern Russia during Denekin's advance on Moscow in summer 1919.








Marching to face them are the 'elite' battalions of the Volunteer Army's Drozdovsky division.  Actually the whites are a mix bag of good quality 'officer' units filled out with conscripted sailors and red POWs.











Some more pics of the battle so far.  Both sides are pushing forward to meet the enemy at close quarters.













 To be continued ... probably.
