Single Battle - The Battle of Moscow (52 turns, Large) - September 15, 1812 - Kutusov stopped and convened a rare war council at the village of Fili. He asked his generals if a battle should be given before the gates of Moscow. Kutusov expected the council's recommendation would be against a battle as the Russian army had taken huge losses at Borodino a week earlier. To his surprise most in the council advocated for another battle. As a result Kutusov had to make the decision largely on his own to abandon Moscow. This scenario assumes that the politically sensitive Kutusov bows to the pressure to give one more battle for Moscow.
