Description:
A simulation of the battle of Borodino. The game covers Napoleon's move on the way to Moscow but encountered severe resistance at Borodino. His aggression was stopped by the Russian Army and the winter effect.
This game is broadly considered to be one of the early classics of wargaming. Though a crude simulation by today's standards it has many of the hallmarks of what makes a "game" one that is good. It is simple, balanced, replayable and can draw the interest of both new gamers and old salts alike.
