My opponent for the Back of Beyond game thought my army list was a little overcooked for Turkmenistan in 1920, so I suggested that we play a Prepared Attack style defensive game instead of a Meeting Engagement, with the Bolsheviks reduced in strength to half the original points total, or thereabouts. If we did this, my army would now look something like this:
One unit (12 figures) – Cheka, T3 / M5, stubborn with
bombs @ 10 points = 120
Two units (12 figures) – Red Infantry with bombs, T2 / M3 @ 5 points = 120
Plus one LMG per unit @ 12 points = 36
Two HMG, T2 / M4 @ 48 points = 96
One Field Gun, T2 / M3 @ 30 points = 30
Total = 402 points
The Bolsheviks would have some trenches or buildings to use as hard cover but otherwise would have to make do when the British launch their assault, backed up by their armoured cars, mountain guns, machine guns and top notch infantry. I can't say I fancy my chances!
