Whoever named their state The Military Dictatorship of Mughan is badly in need of a spin-doctor. Either that or they just don't give a shit. lol


Googling...


Oh dear, seems it was us. That figures.  ;)

Is it wrong that I want to build forces for each?  o_o

So many possibilities!

Glad some of you got a kick out of it.

I recently read Miéville’s “October”, and it has me interested in yet another period...  o_o

A very informative map, and thank you for posting it!  Now if only it had a few more city names on it, to help those of us who don't know their Astrakhan's from their Ashkhabad's  o_o

And areas like the Baltic Duchy and Finland give German Freikorps units a chance to join in the game (and fight for/against them, as well as fight against Bolshevik forces).

Nice map and flags,  but i see the Trans - Caspian government  is missing.

 Always wondered what flag it would have had, Russian or Turkmen cresent flag.

You could build most of these state's armies very quickly. They were ephemeral for a reason!

Some Whites, Freikorps, Cossacks and Basmachis would give the rest. I already can field almost all of them.

Most of the small interesting armies are missing because they never declared statehood. Semenov, Grigoriev, Urals Cossacks etc, even though they were in practice independent.
