1812. Napoleon is deep in Russia with winter approaching and is set on capturing Moscow. His huge army has shrunk, but it still contains seasoned veterans. A defensive battle is planned by the Russians to break the French army and reduce its effectiveness much like the foolish Swedes who invaded a hundred years ago. Mother Russia will not be so easily humbled as Napoleon expects. The stage is set.

The Battle of Borodino is a low-to-moderate complex tactical game covering the most important battle of Napoleon's Russian campaign in 1812. The game takes about 90 minutes to play. One player commands the Russian forces and the other player commands the French forces. Cards vary game play.
