Borodino - face to face game AAR

Last night, we played a face to face game of Columbia Games' Borodino and it was interesting to see that even within the constraints of this head on clash, the game opened up and played out in a slightly different way than my previous solitaire game and was an exciting challenge for both players, who both felt fully engaged throughout play.

For a detailed post about the mechanics of the game, please select the post called 'Borodnio - Napoleon in Russia 1812' from the Borodino labels section over on the right (at the moment, it should be the follow on post from this).

Borodino, The system explained via an AAR



A block game from Columbia Games, covering the Shevaradino assault on 5th September, the full battle on the 7th or the multi day game running from 5th through to 7th.


Lovely box art by Mark Churms. 



My game shipped with version 1.02 of the rules but the following AAR was played with v1.03, which can be downloaded from the Columbia Games webpage (I'm not really sure what the difference is - they don't say).
