  • Optional Rules - Armoured Trains
    OPTIONAL RULES - ARMOURED TRAINS - Over the previous editions of Blitzkrieg Commander, many optional rules have been developed either within the rules themselves or as house rules by various players and clubs. These rules are optional and all players participating in games where they apply must agree to their use in advance of starting the game. They can be played to represent specific scenarios or campaigns, or to add additional detail to a game. ARMOURED TRAINS It is generally agreed that the Russian Civil War was the hay-day of the Armoured Train and it was then that they were most widely used and at their most effective. However, by the period covered by BKC-IV, whilst Armoured Trains featured in conflicts in China, Manchuria and eastern Europe, their use was on the decline as air power started to dramatically increase their vulnerability. Armoured Trains fall broadly into two categories – Improvised and Purpose Built: - Improvised armoured trains appear particularly in China and Manchuria and are smaller, less heavily armoured and generally poorer in performance (although there were exceptions). Their primary function was usually the rapid deployment of infantry (or cavalry) with the trains guns acting in a defensive rather than offensive capacity. - Purpose built armoured trains were used on the Eastern Front in Europe and Russia during WW2, with the Poles, Russians and Germans (amongst others) continuing the tradition of building them. These trains were often used offensively and were formidable opponents. IMPROVISED ARMOURED TRAINS The variations of weapons, armour, armaments and infantry contingents that made up the improvised armoured trains were almost as variable as the number of individual trains converted and deployed.

The guns that had battered away at each other in France and Belgium for four long years finally fell silent at eleven A.M. as the signed armistice went into effect. "There came a second of expectant silence, and then a curious rippling sound, which observers far behind the front likened to the noise of a light wind. It was the sound of men cheering from the Vosges to the sea," recorded South African soldier John Buchan, as victorious Allied troops went wild with celebration. "No sleep all night," wrote Harry Truman, then an artillery officer on the Western Front, "The infantry fired Very pistols, sent up all the flares they could lay their hands on, fired rifles, pistols, whatever else would make noise, all night long."1 They celebrated their victory, and the fact that they had survived the worst war of attrition the world had ever seen. "I've lived through the war!" cheered an airman in the mess hall of ace pilot Eddie Rickenbacker's American fighter squadron. "We won't be shot at any more!"2 But all was not quiet on every front.

  • Revolution in Russia and the Formation of the Soviet Union
    CLASSROOM COUNTRY PROFILES Revolution in Russia and the Formation of the Soviet Union The Russian Revolution often refers to two events that took place in 1917. The first, known as the February Revolution, forced Tsar Nicholas II to abdicate and led to the formation of a provisional government. During the second event, commonly known as the October Revolution or Bolshevik Revolution, Vla- dimir Lenin’s Bolshevik Party seized power and began seven decades of one-party rule. Some scholars and Soviet critics have argued that the second event was actually a coup by Lenin and his supporters and not a true revolution. The Russian Empire in 1914.
