Sept. 5, 1812 26 Turns ----------------------[ What If? ]---------------------- Around 2pm Murat led the advance guard of Napoléon's Grande Armée onto the plains west of Borodino. In the distance he spotted the Russian fortifications near Shevardino. Wisely - and perhaps uncharacteristically - Murat reined in his cavalry and waited for Infantry support to arrive before engaging the Russians. What if the brash cavalry leader had instead launched his cavalry straightaway at the Russians?
