stability

The game is frequently criticized for its instability, with numerous reports of bugs that can disrupt gameplay, particularly during large-scale campaigns. While some players find the historical depth and gameplay engaging enough to overlook these issues, the recurring crashes—especially when managing extensive military assets—significantly detract from the overall experience. Many reviewers suggest starting with older, more stable versions of the game rather than the latest releases, which are perceived as unreliable.
- “It's too buggy when playing grand campaign as a Soviet side. When you build nearly 100 brigades and several hundreds of regiments and support assets, the game will crash every 2-3 turns, making it hard to finish the campaign.”
- “This game is buggy as hell.”
- “In my opinion, you should start out with the older versions instead of wasting your money on the buggy and doubtful releases they are now throwing out every few months.”

The game effectively captures the atmosphere of the historical period, immersing players in the low-intensity conflict characterized by railroad operations and the constant threat of uprisings. Reviewers appreciate the attention to detail in recreating the tensions and challenges faced during the revolution and civil war.
- “Having read much on the history of the revolution and civil war, I'd say the game reproduces the atmosphere of the period very well - this low-intensity conflict, that was conducted mainly along the railroads with heavy involvement of armored trains, with constant uprisings in the rear by the green bands, that distracted forces from the front and severed communications.”
