About the Game

"The Most Terrible Battle: Borodino 1812" is an introductory wargame at the division level of perhaps Napoleon’s most famous battle next to Waterloo.

The game includes the meeting engagement of September 5, 1812 as well as the main battle of Borodino fought two days later.

The game design is suited for beginners and more experienced players alike as it includes features such as square formations, heavy cavalry charges, the Fleches, and the Shevardino and Grand Redoubts, Cossacks, garrison units and a non-player reaction phase.

The game map for Borodino is based on a modified style and color of maps created by historians of the battle in the decades immediately after the battle.
