Hey guys, wondering if anyone has any recs covering Archangel. I'm looking for meaty material, Orbats/TO&E/Maps, etc.
Thanks in advance :)
You mean the 1918-19 campaign? "When Hell Froze Over" is a decent read.

That would be the one...the number of names it goes under makes for a serious book hunt:
The North Russia Intervention
Northern Russian Expedition
Archangel Campaign
Murman Deployment
and that title should get me headed in the right direction...thanks :)
I've read Russian Sideshow mostly focusing on the US campaign in Russian in 1918-1919.

It was interesting, but sad. A totally miss-thought, under-resourced excursion with no clear strategy.

That one is on my list. It was a complete disaster and is a big part of what haunts us to this day with the Russians, Soviet or no Soviet. I read an article on the logistical side of the affair some time ago and am looking at building something to put on the table to go through the campaign.
Next on my list is the Battle of Batoche. That campaign has been on my back burner for awhile and I think will make for a good solitaire experience.
