Description (From the Publisher): "It Rolls for Ivan" covers the turbulent period of the Russian Civil War in all its uniqueness. Based upon "For Whom The Dice Rolls", but re-worked to allow for the specific nature of the conflict, the rules are intended to allow large scale battles to be fought on a standard table top. These are not a WW1 set of rules with the Russian Civil War crowbarred in because there are superficial similarities.

Originally written for use with 15mm figures, the standard unit size is the battalion. The rules cover the expected troop types from Cheka to Cossacks and the Western Powers. They also allow for armoured trains, armoured cars, air attacks and, of course, cavalry charges supported by the famous "tchanka" machine gun carts.

The command and control system uses playing cards, and allows players to construct sophisticated plans - but beware. Your units may decided to object to their orders. You can, of course, threaten them to obey, and this will work once or twice, but be careful you do not push your men to hard.

The rules include full explanations and examples, background information, orbats, a bibliography, description of weapon systems, a unique approach to configuring and deploying armoured trains as well as QRSs and loads of eye candy.
