Description

The Legion seized several Putilov-Garford armored cars from Bolshevik forces along the Trans-Siberian Railway and used them in their campaigns against the Reds, often alongside their famous armored trains. The forested dirt road setting fits Siberian operations, where such vehicles supported Legion infantry and rail movements.
