Very cool! I love the whole river gunboat thing (that's why I build so many model gunboats), mostly the Mississippi River Squadron. I love looking at the Soviet gunboats for inspiration for steampunk variants!

A Konflikt 47 game set in the Russo-Sino War would be very interesting, not that you have to go that far afield with it. Any cold war gone hot ruleset would be interesting to use. This is an imagi-nations conflict that I have not heard much about.

Heh...Yes, Belgrade would fit the bill as an oft-disputed river confluence.

I found a couple of titles on Wargame Vault specifically dealing with riverine warfare during the Russian Civil War:

ACW and Vietnam feature riverine warfare. I don't know of any wargames rules for them, but there's an excellent movie...
