Sept. 7, 1812 48 Turns ---------------------[ Historical ]--------------------- [This version of the full-day battle features "guaranteed" releases of units for both sides at their historical times.] Napoléon had chased Tsar Alexander's armies across the Russian countryside, trying to force a decisive battle in hopes of destroying them and forcing the Tsar to settle on terms of Napoléon's dictate. Time and again they looked like they would fight, but always they continued to retreat toward Moscow. Now, with the Tsar's armies only miles from Moscow and under the new leadership of Prince Kutuzov, it looks like Napoléon will get his wish.
