I did some number crunching with the Pygmy Wars army lists to devise a White army for Red Actions! based on the Volunteer Army Infantry Division late 1919-20 list, selecting the later time period of late 1919 and late 1920.
One Battalion of three companies each of five bases (Conscript + Officer)
Two machine gun bases.*1
Two field gun bases with limbers.*2
One squadron of four bases (Regular Cavalry)
One armoured car, tank or aircraft.*3
One squadron of four bases (Cossack cavalry)
One armoured train.
(*1 I will paint up four MG bases)
(*2 I rolled up a half battery of one gun but for flexibility I will paint up two)
(*3 I rolled up an aircraft but will paint up the other options as well)
This is a nicely balanced army with lots of interesting units and the potential to be expanded with colour infantry and additional cavalry, so a great place to start. I may also paint up a single officer company of five bases, as an extra unit or one that I can mix in with the conscripts on a single base per company ratio. This will also allow me to use the same mix of units for an army from the Kolchak Infantry Division list, which is a bonus. Huzzah!
