Plans for more Belle Époque armies

Looking at the list of my existing Belle Époque armies, I am struck by the fact that there are a few holes that need to be filled. First – and probably most importantly – I need a simulacrum of Russia amongst my Belle Époque imagi-nations.

I have used such an imagi-nation before ... Rusland. It was was featured in (amongst other blog posts) the following:

So, my next step is to acquire a suitable army for Rusland ... and this is something that I hope to do in the near future.

I also want to add at least one more African army that can fight the Obele and several small Indian princely armies to deploy alongside that of Hyderapore. They will hopefully follow once I have added the Ruslanders to my collection.

  1. Looks like we're going to see more AI generated Rulers -
    You'll be taking on more roles than Alec Guiness in Kind Hearts and Coronets

  2. Rusland is straightforward in its derivation. Have you considered alternatives? E.g Novgorodia or Tartaria?

  3. Bob -
    It is so tempting to expand one's ... geographical inventory - isn't it? That is how my War of the Imperial Succession fetched up with five warring nations and an add-on; and my Chromatic Chronicles have 4 nations instead of two (and a strong temptation to add at least a couple more). There is something about the expanding horizons.

    But, until the armies come indeed into being, perhaps they can remain as 'hidden characters' - having some influence on events, but never 'personally' appearing in the narrative. When I finally get around to backgrounding my own narrative, such 'eminences grises' might get a mention by way of explaining why things are as they are...
    Cheers,
