Setting The East Ablaze! contains miniature wargame rules for warfare in Central Europe, Russia, Central Asia, China and elsewhere from the years 1917-1926. These rules are designed for medium-sized games (c. 60-70 figures per side), but they do work just as well for smaller skirmish-level games, and for larger games of up to 500 figures per side. Rules use standard six-sided dice. Figures are grouped into units, ranging from 8 (cavalry units) to 20 (irregular mobs) strong. An action card system is then used to play the game, with considerable potential to customize the card deck depending on the game you wish to play. Appendices provide further information on basic points value of units, tanks and armored cars, optional rules, fire and bomb templates, and army morale.
