The Ukraine will open up for conquest. I'm not entirely certain how the Ukrainian army forms - is it constructed by the AI? Does it pop into existence the instant Ukraine becomes independent? - whatever, I'd really, really like the resources of Kiev and Kharkov. Kharkov is a critical point, too. Hold it and I have a straight path north to Moscow.
So, the Ukraine will be M-M's theatre (i would like to promote him to Army commander if possible, but I fear I will have to subordinate him to the Cossack command). Denikin's goal will be to hold Tsaritsyn, link up with the Siberians, and assist in their push westwards. The Cossacks will serve as garrisons and roving defence forces, and also move to take Astrakhan, Grozny etc.

I think you should put a *defensive* "front" against anarchists (actually it would be a raid war, between makhnovists and your cosaks), trying protect your supplies as you go to Moscow. Taking Kharkov could be ok and then should be on this front defensive line, but Kiev should be too far (It would be good miracle for the Whites if Petlioura guard it for you against Reds lol).
Let the anarchists alone, hope the Reds will do the job, taking losses for you. Reds are the goal, don't disturb your army for the Blacks.
That's the strategy I would try, when I'll play the game

You should worry in 8 months.
