Today Richard and I tried out the GMT game Reds!, a simulation of the Russian Civil War.
It started off predictably enough in anything that was not a predictable game system.
Units activate by Front or Faction, combat resolution is ratio and significant modifier and supply is only one hex and you are not allowed to move a unit out of supply!
We played till the end of WW1.
As the Red player I had done well against the southern and eastern White factions,
but had been surprised by the sudden appearance of the Northwest Whites coming out of the Baltic States.
I recall reading somewhere that at one stage the Bolsheviks were fight on 22 - yep TWENTY-TWO - fronts. By that time the White were getting support from Western nations, and Poland had entered the war.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a very interesting campaign!
Now we have a feel for the game, we will be playing again next week. Looking forward to it.
