Updates

A list of changes and amendments to the site over time

June 2008: Even more orders of battle: ones for Iudenich's army and the allied Estonians; one of the Don Army in late 1919 and some stuff on the KOMUCH People's Army.

A page about how to add colour to a White army in the south without resorting to the standard Kornilov, Markov, Drozdovskiy or Alekseev regiments. I also amended the basic uniform page a bit, especially to add some brief notes about elite Red units.

May 2008: I changed the two Baltic maps of Reigo into .gif form, as the .xls form was a bit clunky, and then linked them to the Northern Corps orbat and in the maps section.
   
April 2008: It was about time for some more material and a "relooking" of the site. I had to deal with the accumulating bits that have nothing to do with the Russian Civil War focus. Now they can be accessed directly by visitors (previously they were basically invisible, including to the search engine spiders. I hope to grow those bits.

The RCW section got 1) a section devoted to Bulak-Balakhovich and the NDA; 2) a section on the fighting near Astrakhan, plus how I might wargame it; 3) several orders of battle both related to the above and separate; and 4) some new scenarios donated by Richard Clarke.

The Mexican section got started. Currently just a list of battles, I hope to add some bits soon.

The whole "Miscellaneous" section - contact details etc - got taken out of the Russian Civil War portion. That means I can add things like links to local wargames clubs that will actually be found by the search engine spiders.
   
15 September 2007: I added the Albov and Stenbock-Fermor memoirs.

Put in a couple of links through to printable flag pages.

Added a couple of new rule sets.
   
19 June 2007: I added the Kupyansk and Slovechno scenarios.

Boosted storage, since I have passed the previous 50MB limit and added  www.pygmywars.com  as an address, but left everything else where it was so that all the search engine links would still stay active.
   
20 April 2007: Have decided to put the site on hold for a while. I'm too busy to do much gaming even, let alone research. I hope to write something about the Basmachis sometime though.

Oh, but I did add this really annoying thing that goes around the cursor (in most browsers, not all). Hope you like it!
   
7 November 2006: I added the Pustomerzha game scenario and details on Nik Cornish's recent book on the WWI Russian army.
   
1 November 2006: I corrected a few more typo errors in my army lists.
   
4 September 2006: A section of stuff from my August trip to Poland added.
   
29 May–31 May 2006: A complete rejig of the site. Not much stuff taken out, but many pages rewritten or changed from html to pdf or vice versa. The 2nd half of the Moslard article added, along with Study of the Red Cavalry and Farman's account of Polish Cavalry. A section on information for uniforms added and one on potentially confusing terms.
   
25 May 2006: Details added about Tom Hillman's books.
   
1 May 2006: Added the Rauna scenario and updated the "books" and "rules" pages.
   
21 April 2006: "The Lost Legion" added, with profuse thanks to Steve Turn for supplying the photocopy.
   
28 February 2006: Pygmy Wars army lists added.
   
27 February 2006:  An orbats page added, mostly linking old stuff, but addding a Polish War 1920 orbat as well.
   
February 2006:  extra cards for the Red Actions! rules added, with explanations. If you game the RCW and haven't tried Red Actions! them, you should. The rest of the Captain's stuff is worth a look too
   
February 2006:  a few books added to the reading list. The Triumph of the Will ruleset added to the Rules page.
   
9 January 2006: A couple of extra books added to the main Poland 1919 page and amendments made to my introduction to Przybylski's work, after some comments kindly provided by Henryk Szot.
   
2 January 2006: A section on the Polish campaigns against Russia and the West Ukraine in 1919.
   
December 2005: Expanded the "figures used" section to take account of the new PP Freikorps figures and the fact that I have finished a few more units since the time I first wrote it.
   
December 2005: Noted the free software I used, and a thanks to my wife for finding it, in the site introduction.
   
September 2005: Added Bujac's account of the Hungarian Soviet War vs Romania. Added the Borkowo scenarios.

June 2005: Michael Lofthouse supplied a couple of links, most especially an excellent article on the Basmachis at http://cgsc.leavenworth.army.mil/carl/resources/csi/csi.asp (Leavenworth Paper 20, Chapter 3) and a nice site for buying maps of Poland http://www.polandbymail.com/.
   
June 2005: I got the Freikorps in Latvia stuff up and running. Thanks to Eduardo, Valdis, Daniel and especially Reigo. I got the Czesniki article and scenario out.
   
May 2005: Finally off the ground and running, thanks largely to Alison (my wife) coming through with the requisite software.
