Campaign maps determine Red and White control.
Civil-war lines show the published campaign phase. Port, railway and uprising footprints represent thematic military-presence regions; their stated widths do not claim surveyed political frontiers.
The southern front shows the mid-October maximum toward Orel, while eastern control follows the October campaign map. Allied northern intervention has ended.
