At the time the reds without a doubt.
With hindsight the whites.

What's this time where the reds looked good!

I knew that, if enough years passed, we would agree on something!  :lol:

Agreed.  About the only time, too.

I guess the Black army the Blue army and the Green Army don't get any love. :(
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I like the Black Army.  :hug: Most reasonable side in that war, IMO--and since it's Russia (or technically Ukraine, but whatever), the inevitable happened to them.  :(

Pavel Milyukov, if we are voting for people/factions rather than sides.

I have seen where the Nationalists get thrown in with the Whites which is kind of weird since the Whites would have crushed them if they had won. I guess it is just an attempt to simplify an absurdly complex conflict.

Or maybe Yi just didn't know about the other factions.  In fairness the "White movement" was never unified or organized.
