RCW At WMMS 2025

At the WMMS show last month Leamington and District Wargamers put on this splendid Russian Civil War game.
German Freikorps Command Group.
White Russian Command Group.
Red Russian Command Group
The game was being played with Black Powder rules with home brew rule amendments. We have done similar for our 1914 games in the past, suitably inspired I have used the RCW amendments to form the basis of using Black Powder for next week's Spanish Civil War game.
Until then.........KBO

    1. It was a demo/display game. I think there was only one participation game at the show.

  2. A timely reminder that a 1914 game is overdue here in GHQ?

  4. That is indeed a beautiful game. The basing is lovely and the vertically posed crashed plane a good application.

  5. Great table and great miniatures! I very interested about your lack Powder amendments for the SCW (Maybe they can be used also for the Rif war)

  6. It was indeed a fine display, with some interesting modifications to the BP rules. It will be interesting to see how your game plays out....

    1. I am hoping they will lead to a satisfactory SCW game. The Chain of Command variant seems too WW2 for me, modified WW2 rules would fit the bill better I think.

    2. WWI rules would fit the bill better (fat thumbs)

  7. Trains, truck, railway and crashed biplane.
    And cavalry units and splendid chaps with standards flying. What a treat to see.
