Russian Civil War infantry tactics

[Mark Plant]

There is a third way of course: since I game with the company as the smallest unit, it makes not the slightest difference to me whether SMGs were used or not.

To return to the original post: I recently stumbled across an article which appeared to be claiming that the Whites in early 1919 were still attacking in close rows on occasion. I on't know if it is true or not of course, but there are claims that they were.

(I say "appeared" because it was in Russian and I was using a auto-translate function. Following that lead I found an article in Sergeant Magazine on these, so called "Psychic Attacks", but I'm not up to translating it.)

yes indeed
on company level SMG in any number available 1920 would be meaningless 
but then also Brussilov tactics?

about the close oder attack - the first question I would ask in this case would be:

who wrote this, when and in which context?

I've hedged my bets by giving my White army exactly 1 SMG, carried by one of the officers. I figure that way, no one can complain much either way.
