RED DAWN RISING: Warfare in the Back of Beyond 1917-1926 Scenario Book
This is the first in a planned series of scenario books for our 'Setting the East Ablaze' rules (OMM book number 198510).

Although written specifically for warfare in Central Asia in the aftermath of the Russian Civil War, we have found that the rules are very flexible. With minor adjustments, the earliest they have been played successfully is the Second Afghan War (1888) while the latest is modern day Africa.

These scenario books cover a slightly wider core period and a significantly wider geography. Most will be based around historical engagements, but those of you who follow 'The League of Extraordinary Kriegspielers' adventures in their alternative reality of 1920s will be glad to hear that those tales will also be told before too long.

The backdrop for this first set of scenarios is the main source book for the so-called 'Back of Beyond' period: Peter Hopkirk's 'Setting the East Ablaze - On Secret Service in Bolshevik Asia.' This rollicking tale, first published in 1984, tells true stories of the period in breath-taking fashion.

This book contains eight/nine scenarios from Feb 1918 to Sep 1920, each with a historical context, objectives, army lists, and maps. Most are playable on a 6' x 4' table and require manageable amounts of figures and terrain. All games are based on known historical facts and orders of battle, and where none exist, a reasonable extrapolation of what was known. If some of the historical battles were very one sided (as they were), the designers rebalanced the sides to give a better game.
