La Bataille de la Moscowa 3rd Edition Reprint

La Bataille de la Moscowa 3rd Edition Reprint is a detailed Napoleonic wargame from Clash of Arms, covering Napoleon’s 1812 battle near Moscow, better known in English as the Battle of Borodino.

This is one of the classic titles in the La Bataille series, a system known for its deep treatment of Napoleonic warfare at a highly detailed scale. Players command the French and Russian armies in one of the largest and bloodiest battles of the Napoleonic Wars, with massed infantry, cavalry, artillery and battlefield command all playing crucial roles.

This is very much a game for experienced wargamers: large, detailed, and demanding, but also a major title for players interested in Napoleonic “monster” games and the 1812 campaign in Russia.

Listings for the third edition describe it as the venerable La Bataille de la Moscowa, covering Napoleon’s battle near Moscow from September 5–7, 1812, and as a game strongly associated with the monster-wargame tradition.

Boardgamegeneral’s note: La Bataille is not a casual Napoleonic game, but for players who enjoy detailed battlefield command, it offers a level of drama and period flavour that few systems match. Expect a serious rules load and a long play time, but also a game that can make a Napoleonic battle feel genuinely alive.
