From the back of the box:
The Military History game "The Great Battle of Borodino" will help you play different episodes (of) the great Borodino battle which took place September 7 (August 26) 1812 in 120 km from Moscow.
Two to six players can participate in the game. The combat characteristics of armies are maximally approximated to historic. Tactical maneuvering by regiments in the game is of great significance. A skillful commander can bring an army to a victory over an outnumbering enemy. The kit contains six scenarios, each of them making you able to reproduce a historic battle or try to change it. In any case one needs to win not only by number, but also by skill.
