Description Edit | History

Soviet Dawn brings Darin Leviloff’s novel States of Siege(TM) game system (introduced in VPG’s Israeli Independence) back for a much larger storytelling adventure covering the Russian Civil War from 1918 to 1921. With several enemy "Fronts" converging on Moscow, the fate of the revolution and the prestige of international communism rests on your ability to manage and resolve every crisis that the "Whites" can assail you with.

As the headlines unfold, you draw upon military and political resources to help you, or try to reorganize the Red Army for special abilities that can greatly enhance your position. Who knows? You might even capture the Imperial Gold Reserve!

Can you deal with the great crises of that time and defend the revolution? Will you withdraw from the Great War (WW1) or exercise the Bukharin Option and fight on? Can you execute the Czar in time, or will the Whites rescue him? Will you fortify Petrograd or press your offensives home? How will you deal with internal and external dissent? Play Soviet Dawn and see!

Game Components:
One 8-page, color Game Rules booklet
16 color, die-cut 5/8" mounted game pieces
12 color, die-cut 3/4" mounted game pieces
48 ‘Headline’ cards
One 11" x 17" color game map
Detailed Example of Play + Designer’s Notes

Scale: Each unit is one anti-communist Front, and each turn is a few weeks of real time.

5 Stuff I Don't Like About Soviet Dawn
I love Soviet Dawn. But, after hundreds of games, I noted some details which I didn't like. Herein I review them as a prelude to my suggested fixes in the forthcoming homegrown rules "Soviet Dawn 2.0".

5 Summary of Event Deck Cards
This spreadsheet is a compliment to my other upload, "Trends in the Event Deck". It gives the Kremlin more information to better judge risk and likely White attacks and wisely allocate your precious action points.

6 Trends in the Event Deck
Knowing the Event Deck and which fronts are most likely to advance and how dangerous they are during the various epochs, this allows the Soviets to make more informed decisions about the allocation of their Action Points.
