AGEOD Russian Civil War?

In the spirit of the Vietnam thread...

I would love :coeurs: to see a a game covering this conflict à la the boardgame Triumph of Chaos (ToC), my current favorite card-driven wargame.

ToC is set up as a 2-player, but the designer notes mention Poland as a possible third. I wonder if there would be enough to do keep such a game interesting for players beyond the first two.

One of the different aspects of ToC compared to most card-driven wargames is the detailed subgame for intervention of minor and major powers (from Astrakhan to United States, and everything in between).

I would love to see this conflict get the AGEOD treatment, and it's interesting that VGON falls just short of covering this period... :sherlock:

Is anyone else with me?

Surely Russian Civil War is not so far out as all these, especially since the period that VGoN will cover already overlaps most of the war (and the part that would probably be the most fun to game.)

I agree, the Russian Civil War, like the American Civil War, is a good subject for the AGEOD platform. And, I would buy it.

If that's what you'd like to see AGEOD make in the future, you are welcome to make the case for it. Won't expect to see as much support for those as for the other ideas being kicked around here, though ;)
