Borodino: Battle of the Moskova, 1812 (2004)

About this game

Second volume in the Triumph & Glory series covers the classic battle of Borodino. "The brigade-level Orders of Battle include the latest research, some directly from Russia (The Wonders of The Net!), and we even give the French player an opportunity - fraught with danger, to be sure - to attempt to undertake Davout's suggested flanking maneuver. In addition to the full Borodino, the game also includes a nice, short, 'introductory' mini-battle, the Attack on the Schevardino Redoubt (which took place 2 days before the actual battle)."

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 1 to 2. It has a designed solo mode.
• Rules load. At 2.9/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 12 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
