The Estonian war of independence 1918 to 1920
Within wargamers Illustrated issue 381 July 2019 there was an article consisting of the Estonian war of independence of which I have an interest in considering what if my former co-workers was in Estonian citizen the campaign should be relatively easy to work as I have first world war figures which can be used for either signed my Russian Force can be used with first world second world war Russians minus the fact that they're wearing helmets.
