ORIGINAL: Keke So you have done it already? I was thinking that the anarchists were such an independent force that the current implementation is the best approach. I hope you are just not too keen to use the Absorbfaction command. Maybe. The current system isn't sufficiently incentive to push Red player to use alliance option, because there are no possibilities to control ANA moves during the allinace period. Now, Red will get this reinfort, with NM cost, a possibility ANA breaks alliance, a strenghtened ANA once allinace is broken, and some large vP losses if ANA units are destroyed. As much to avoid gamey tactics. And in some ways, the recreation of a new anarchist military force will avoid other gaey use of ANA. But in other hand, alliance with ANA will limit Red desertion to Anarchist when the Alliance is enforced in Southern Ukraine,that being a real bonus at start when reds haven't yet mobilized a large force during 1918 and the first part of 1919. This new perspective of temporary ANA-Red alliance looks rather tempting. In fact RCW saw other "unthinkable" coalitions: Latvians, Freikorps and Russian Western army against Reds to capture Riga. Ukrainians (Petlyura) allied with Poles against Reds. Bolsheviks allied with Ukrainian Galician Army and Lithuanians to fight Poles. Bolsheviks allied with Greens (in RUS terms) in Ukraine and Novorossia (Grigoriev) in 1919, Crimea (Orlov) in 1920. In 1919-1920 Bolsheviks allied with anti-Kolchak SRs (whole divisions of ex-Kolchak turncoats fought for Red cause after anti-Kolchak coup) and Greens (peasant partisans) in Siberia. To fight Whites Bolsheviks allied with anti-Russian religious and nationalist movements in North Caucasus (anti-Russian Moslem tribes like Chechens), Bashkiria and Central Asia. There were also potential "unholy" alliances which are not present in RUS - most probably between Denikin and Ukrainians and/or Poles. So implementing this feature has great potential on one hand and opens the can of worms on the other.
