Hi

I'd strongly suggest read the 4 AARs that are linked to in the AAR section. Ok they refer to RuS not RuS Gold but the fundamentals apply and its stuff like supply, raising troops, forming divisions etc that can trip people up.

The Finnish scenario is small but pretty one sided. So useful to learn about how to form and move stacks etc, but its either near impossible (as the Reds) or pretty easy (as the Finnish white forces).

In the main scenario, most people recommend starting with the Southern Whites. You have a pretty decent core army, less terrain to worry over so its a bit easier to get into the game. For the Reds, as a first go, start with the later campaign scenario, survival over the opening phase is a bit of a challenge till you grasp recruitment et al.

You may also find the AGEOD RuS forum a bit more active, so prob better to post questions there
