Borodino was fought between the Army of Imperial Russia and Napoleon. s Grand Armee on September 7 1812. The battle ended with a French victory but strategic defeat. Losses were terrible on both sides but the Russians could replace theirs. One week after the battle Napoleon occupied an undefended Moscow hoping to impose a peace but after four weeks was forced to retreat home with calamitous results. The historical battle involved wave after wave of frontal attacks by both sides focusing on the Russian redoubts. However the game will show all the options available to Napoleon and Kutuzov including
some not attempted historically. The French player has several possible lines of attack and the Russian player must try to anticipate and counter them all. The tactical interaction of Napoleonic infantry cavalry and artillery is also emphasized including cavalry charges and squares. This makes for exciting and tense gaming.
