Our take on Revolution Under Siege Gold
The headline emphasizes the scale of the civil war, but the product is a systems-heavy historical simulation built around political choices, force organization, diplomacy, and campaign scenarios. Its focus is the 1917–1923 conflict and related wars, rather than a broad survey of twentieth-century warfare.
What is Revolution Under Siege Gold?
Revolution Under Siege Gold simulates the Russian Civil War from 1917 to 1923, with campaigns across Russia and neighboring regions from Poland to the Pacific.
Players choose the Reds or Whites and direct forces, recruitment, organization, politics, requisitions, revolts, repression, diplomacy, and foreign intervention. The game includes officers such as Trotsky and Semenov, units including Red Guards and Cossacks, and period weapons such as tanks, armored trains, and aircraft. Campaigns cover individual war years, the Finnish Civil War of 1918, the Russian-Polish War of 1920, and an alternate-history 1921 scenario. Gold adds events, geopolitical options, game mechanisms, a chronology, revised manuals, a strategic map, and gameplay fixes and balance changes.
