1919.11.11
While November 11 is celebrated as the end of the First World War in the
former Russian Empire the war waged on. The West Russian Volunteer Army
was formed in 1919 partly from former Russian imperial officers and
soldiers and for the most part from the leftovers of the German army -
the Baltic Freikorps, the Iron Division lead by colonel (general) Pavel
Bermondt-Avalov. The official purpose of the army was to take part in
the Russian civil war. Instead, in October 1919 they engaged the Latvian
Armed forces, who were assisted by French and British naval forces and
partly by Estonian army.
In November 11 the Latvian armed forces finally defeated the Western Russian Army and it was forced to retreat
and evacuate to Germany. This mod is to commemorate these events, as my
relatives took part in battles against the forces of Bermondt.
Pavel Bermondt-Avalov despite being sympathetic towards German far right
groups in Germany, was imprisoned by the Nazi regime, but died in United
States in seventies and therefore may had some relation to one of the
future Brotherhood members who as his army, had established knighthood
and common beliefs. As well as other members who survived both wars and
lived in US.
Mod features:
Known insignia of the Western Russian Volunteer Army added to the Brotherhood soldiers and leading figures.
New flag for the Brotherhood.
Some decorations for Prydwen, of the Russian and German emperors and the Bermondt and General von der Goltz.
BoS Vertibirds have new insignia.
When the Prydwen enters the Commonwealth it will play the Baltic Freikorps
March. When the ship stands still the song still can be heard at some
part of the ship, but not all intrusive.
Some posters in the Commonwealth replaced with WW1 Russian imperial propaganda, that first BoS recon teams added.
Possible planned features:
Replace the BoS character lines partly with vanilla Russian and German voice lines.
Add that easter egg to one other in-famous German-Russian general from the
Civil War era, I wanted but had no time to figure that out.
Reason why I wanted to do this, as well as commemoration is that Western
Russian Volunteer Army was unique symbiosis between Russian and German
imperial armies and their insignia as obscure it was featured both
Teutonic and both Orthodox symbolism.
As the army was very short lived and very despised by the historians of the victorious side, there
is not much information available on their insignia, and I tried best I
can to match also the BoS insignia. I used the Ukrainian army re texture
mod as example.
