Davaï! Revolution Under Siege (RUS) is a historical strategy simulation that recreates
the years of the Russian Civil War (1917-1923) that shook Russia after the Soviets'
Revolution of October 1917.
Players assume the role of a military and political high command of land and naval
forces from one or more factions, like the Reds and the Whites. They will have to deal
with various historical events and geopolitical options to chose.
The map is a 2D representation of the former Empire of Russia —stretching from Poland
in the West to Vladivostok in the Far East (via a series of "Out of Map" boxes along the
Transiberian railway). It is divided into more than 1980 land, sea and river regions
where could move and battle, all sides together, more than 400 Units.
The military units in the game are regiment-size units, brigade units and divisions units,
which may form large forces like Army Corps.
Davaï! RUS consists of a number of scenarios that are divided into game turns each
representing two weeks (~14 days) of historical time. Using a system of simultaneous
turn resolution, the simulation can be played against either the computer’s artificial
intelligence (AI) or veteran Human opponents, by exchanging files by email (PBEM) (or
any other available way to the players).
