Back of Beyond - Autumn 1920

Kind of feels like this campaign is fizzling out... No communications have been sent in weeks and only two (of the remaining six) players sent me orders for this turn. 

 The Illustrious Arm of the Nine Illuminated Terrestrial Immortals held their position at Pyrohy, ever vigilant for another counterattack - which never came! Instead Kombrig Mahat Mikhan led what remained of his Ist Guard Regiment, Ipatiev House back to Bakunin!? The sad train marching to Bakunin was described by one obsever as being "a handful of gunners apprentices riding on an empty artillery caisson, pulled by a decrepit three-legged yak".

The Reds at Borschka also prepared to defend their base of operations against an attack by the Western Interventionists, that never materialized. 

Altan Baatar Kahn remained with The Red Horde in Bashkent. Bored and somewhat demoralized that their leader would not lead them to relieve the siege at, some of his troops started to dessert, while others were killed in drunken brawls that became almost a nightly occurrence in Bashkent by the end of Autumn. 

The Siege of Wurumchi

With no sign of their Khan coming to relieve them and the citizens nearly ready to revolt, the city garrison finally capitulated and gave up the town to the mongrel band of brigands led by the Margrave of Grosswardein; Hedwig Markus von Eggenberg (who still referred to his band of thugs as the East Asia Cavalry Division)
