- Submission in Russia makes
you believe there is uniformity.
-
- Correct this idea.
-
- Nowhere is there a country
where there is such diversity of races, of customs, of religion
or mentality as in Russia.

- In late 1993, I had started
work on a scenario pack for LEG called Red Embers: Legacy
of the Soviet Union. This was to be the follow-up to the
Russian Roulette scenario pack, and was to chronicle the
wars and battles that occurred in the Commonwealth of Independent
States from 1992 onwards. Unfortunately, LEG ceased operations
before the manuscript could be completed. Reproduced in full
on these pages are all the scenarios that would have been included
in Red Embers.

- INTRODUCTION
- A seventy-five year experiment
with Communism that had divided the world into Eastern and Western
spheres of influence ended on an August day in 1991 when the
tanks rolled into Moscow. Within days, the political masters
directing the tanks had been swept out of office in the face
of popular dissent. The collapse of the Communist government
caused the shattering of the Soviet borders, unleashing fifteen
new nation-states upon the world in the first step in restructuring
world politics and forcing the world to search for new stabilities.
-
- Within the old Soviet Union,
however, there were a series of civil wars that erupted as ethnic
nationalities were finally allowed to vent their anger. The old
political science didn't work anymore--the Soviet Union was no
longer around to keep the peace within what had once been its
own borders. What resulted was a paradigm shift to a new world
chaos.
-
- This Scenario Pack is the sequel,
in a sense, to 1992's Russian Roulette Scenario Pack for the
Phoenix Command Small Arms Combat System. Like Russian Roulette
and other PCSACS scenario packs, Red Embers features a number
of scenarios which cover the clashes in the former Soviet Republics
during 1992 and 1993. Each scenario has a full description of
the setting, special rules for unusual situations, and a map
that can be enlarged for tabletop play.
-
- This scenario pack features
a mix of scenarios for the Small Arms and Mechanized Combat System
scenarios, allowing the supplement to be used with both.
