A game about Anarchist Makhno's 1920-1921 campaign vs Bolshevik.

Unfortunately, the current state of the game is just a scaffold due to the limited time budget in the Jam, illustrating a small step WEGO (so it's more like PDX's "realtime" games, instead of the normal WEGO (E.X. AGEOD games) system which introduces too much "friction") system with unit movement, simple combat resolution and troop reorganization.

Control:

- Right dragging and scrolling to zooming.

- Left-click to select a unit and right-click to send move orders (they will be resolved at the same time at the end of the turn).

- Click the top-right button to go to the next phase.

- Combats will be resolved at the end of the turn.

- Click transfer and use its dialog to detach, merge and create new units.

- Open the commander & politician's wiki by clicking on their portrait.

Units of the Anarchists are much faster than the Red Army in the field due to the civil support of Ukraine farmers who provide fresh horses and carts), they're somewhat "motorized infantry"  using Ancient carriers. On the other hand,  Red Army can leverage the railroad so they're faster when moving through the railroad.

The Anarchist's initial strength and deployment are researched while the Red Army is not, though totally possible.
