Berkeley University maps : topographical maps of the Ukraine and the Russian Caucus, which cover most of the areas that the V.A. and A.F.S.R. campaigned in (unfortunately not Orel) plus the southern theatre of the 1920 Polish-Soviet War, Makhno's campaigns and the French Intervention. Applicable to WWII as well, of course. (Update: it appears that the south Russian and Ukrainian maps are no longer on-line to the general public at the moment. Just as well I downloaded them all - send me a mail if you want a particular map.)

Genealogy Unlimited : have cheap modern topographic maps of Poland.

Jana Seta map shop : I have used for paper copies of ex-Soviet maps of the Baltic coast area, though they do much more. Send them an e-mail in English. Very cheap and quick.

Geonames index : helps one find those hard to locate little villages, particularly since it has the historical names as well as the modern ones (just be careful to remember that countries have changed borders a lot since 1920).

Produkin-Gorskii collection : amazing period photos, searchable by theme or location. Great for pictures of houses and villages.

Gauntlet International : uniform books by Deryabin (in English) and other great stuff from Craig Martelle. Your first stop if you need information to paint a Pygmy Wars army.

Perfect Captain : fabulous rules with great graphics.

Hodgenet : Some inspiration to get your figures done.

Jackson Gamers : Guys who were into the RCW before it was trendy. Free rules, book reviews, scenarios and more.

Kriegsspiel News : Wargaming the Kriegspiel way.

Peter Pig : Where I get nearly all my figures (15mm).

The Great Adventure : Gaming the period using 20mm plastic and Great War Spearhead rules.

Gauntlet International : Craig Martelle's stuff.

Vexillographia site in Russian or using Google Translate : especially check out the pages relating to the White Movement, Red Army symbolism and Gosobrazovany.

Nothing to do with the Pygmy Wars, but things I like:
