Thought this map might interest some here:

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. ;)

hahahahaha! Cracking map by the way

That is a wonderful, fascinating thing...
-
The Free Territory looks like a fun place to be !

Is it wrong that I want to build forces for each? o_o
So many possibilities!
-
Great map thanks! Johnno, don't you have some Chinese to paint? lol

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).

Where's Tannu Tuva
-
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.

I hope its not wrong because that was my first glance reaction too!

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.

Honestly, I was thinking that I might just do officer/color parties for each one, and otherwise use my existing Red and White troops - especially the Whites since many of my Reds have big honking red stars on their headgear

My thoughts exactly...

TransCaspia
The crescent and star motif was common with nationalist movements in Russian Central Asia so I have used the Alash Autonomy flag (Red field with yellow crescent and star) with the initials of the Trans Caspian Provisional Government for Transcaspia
The Tashkent Soviet adopted the Turkestan ASSR flag;

How do you think I field most? My Red Guards also double as Latvian Nationalists and Polish Volunteers. My Freikorps are Poznan Poles in their other days.
You would need ones in Cherkessa for the Caucasians.

Mark,
I agree that Semenov is one of the more interesting armies to play.

Theoretically independent until 1944 so insufficiently ephemeral?

Been wondering this myself. Info is sadly lacking.

I can't see Mensheviks flying a Tsarist colour. Nor an ethnic one that was religious in origin.
My money would be on the Transcaspians flying the Red Flag, like KOMUCH did, as their official flag.

That's what I've gone for with my TransCaspian forces...
