About the 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)." [From box.] SYSTEM: Triumph & Glory / Jours de Gloire Series (JDG) - scale = 297 m/hex; - time = 75 min/GT; - strength = 200 men/SP. COMPONENTS 420 full-color die-cut counters.
