Another attempt at revisionism
Setting the score to 1 star because otherwise GOG won't allow my review. The modern trend of rewriting history that doesn't conform to today's sensibilities is getting really tiring. Yes, up until very recently, war was considered to be men's job, with women serving only in auxillary roles. Games and movies still want to use history as dramatic background, but want to erase what they consider unpleasant. Well, at this point it's no longer history, it's fantasy. There is, of course, nothing wrong with fantasy, but media such as "Last train home" are still advertised as reasonably accurate. Even large and obvious inaccuracies aren't openly stated, so even if people realize that the story itself is fictional, they still take the portrayal as real - and it's hard to blame them for believing so. So let's state the facts. According to very thorough research [1], there were probably around 200 women serving with the Czechoslovak Legion, out of it's 50 thousand members overall in Russia. Out of these 200, vast majority was serving as hospital staff. Of the remainder, vast majority was serving in other noncombat roles. Of all the legionary women, the research names only two that maybe, probably served in roles involved combat. For the sake of argument, let's assume the real number is 20, that's 0,0004% of all legionaries. A number that is well below statistical error.
