I know so little about the Russian Civil War that I don't want to mark this as a bug but did the British really supply THAT much artillery?
Yes, after compiling historical sources, we edit the events with the proper amount of artillery the Westerners (after all British) send on a regular basis to the Whites in Vladivostock and in Sevastopol during the year 1919.
The reds, which seized almost all the former imperial artillery park, got also new reserve artillery forces.
The model of single element units may be annoying to manage but some players like it also like this to be able to build fortification lines (and we lack of time to create new multi-element arty units).
This artillery reserve forces could maybe not always be used during your game if you have a lack of commanders and troops to use it, but they did exist so here it is.
Basically, the Whites and the Reds didn't spend production to build guns in the RCW but used the ones build during the WWI (Imperial Russian or British ones). So this reserve forces are also here to avoid the players to build guns as it was and it is useless.
NB: Also, thanks to beta testers works, we reduced the damages of arty units of the Vanilla to reach a better historically accurate rate of damage of RCW fights. So if you have enough command points in your forces, use as much arty as you can from this reserves, you need it
