Here you are:

1. Ice March: 14 turns, starts in November 1917. The Revolution has just taken place. Bolsheviks vs. tiny White force in the south. Personal opinion: too little, too small. I think the Russian Civil War campaign (see below) should have started in Nov. 1917. Alas...

2. The Russian Civil War: 86 turns, starts in June 1918. The big one :D .
You can play as any one of the three sides (Bolsheviks, Southern Whites, Siberian Whites). Personal opinion: It's the most fun, I am playing it right now.

3. Revolution Under Siege: 64 turns, May 1919. Like the one above, but the Whites have advanced and are ready to strike. You can play as any one of the three sides (Bolsheviks, Southern Whites, Siberian Whites).
Personal opinion: it's for people who play as the Whites, don't like to organize their troops as much as in the campaign above and want to jump straight to the fighting.

4. Admiral Kolchak's Siberian Coup: 76 turns, starts in November 1918. Much like the "Russian Civil War" campaign, only that Germany has already lost the war, is evacuating Ukraine and the Western Allies can help the Whites much more. Again, you can play as any of the three sides.

5. Finnish Civil war: 17 turns, starts in January 1918, ends in October. Personal opinion: fun. You can only play as Red or White Finnish forces. The Germans - who are still very much in the war - help the White Finnish forces. And the Bolsheviks help the Red Finnish forces.

6. Polish-Soviet War: 16 turns, starts in May 1920. You can play as Poland or the Soviets.

And I saved the best for last:

7. Drang Nach Osten: 71 turns, starts in January 1921. Germany has won WW1, the Bolsheviks have won the Civil War. Ukraine is a German puppet state, however the Bolsheviks are attacking it, hoping that a war with Germany will trigger world revolution (and it's actually possible for it to happen, play the scenario and you will see ;) ). So the Germans start Barbarossa 20 years early, as to speak. Personal opinion: absolutely awesome, I love alternative history and this is very well done. As somebody from AGEOD said, it's like a game inside a game. It's huge and very awesome.

I exclude the three tutorials, obviously. If you need any more information, we're here!

Great, perfect information, thank you Sir !!!

I played demo and enjoy it and list of campaigns looks really good and interesting. I'm Czech, so for me are interesting campaigns with Czech Legions, but Drang Nach Osten looks really good too. It looks I must buy it = I will stop playing my favourite Rissing of Prussia :wacko:

Did you drop the scenario about "La Légion Tchèque " which was in the Démo in the final game ?
Also one critic i have is that you did a "what if" scenario about a German attack on Soviet Union which perhaps will give another variant in the future but you missed the opportunity to do the same in 1920 after a victory of the Bolcheviks at Warsaw and then a drive to possibly attack Germany and export the Revolution.
This "what if" was actually more likely and the map had clearly enough space to include Pomerania, Silesia as well as Berlin.
Spartakists, Freikorps and Reichwehr :thumbsup: and certainly French, British or US help to stop the REDS.
I remember that a game ( DTP) had been done in 1999-2000.

Of course a limited Soviet offensive scenario toward Western Poland and East Prussia is certainly possible !!! :D
The Reds try to recuperate all Poland and East Prussia annexed in 1758 by Elisabeth of Russia and given back by Catherine in 1762.
The Freikorps help the Poles as well as some divisions of the Reichwehr available on the border ( Division Könisgberg).
By diplomatie, the French agree to be less harsh for the "Versailles Treaty " if the Germans engage all the 100000 men of the Reichwehr.
This engagement allows time to Western allies to help.
The German can only rebuilt the initial divisions.

"The Russian Civil War" is "La Légion Tchèque", just ten times longer.
