Does anyone know if you can use Copplestone castings Bolsheviks or White Russians for Russian WW1 infantry?

You can not use some Red units from copplestone castings.

The Whites and Cossacks work fine.

You would need to add shoulderboards to the Bolsheviks and obviously the pack wearing the budyonovka helmets would be out but beyond that they are pretty much all useable as they are wearing WW1 uniforms. A goodly portion are wearing putters so they might not look quite right for the early war like Tannenburg.
