KUTUZOV
New from GMT Games. Kutuzov,[?] The War in Russia, 1812,[?] is an interactive, play it complete in one-sitting card-driven game of sweeping manoeuvres, epic battles, storied sieges, lethal attrition and crucial-to-victory troop morale for one to four players from the designer of The Napoleonic Wars and Wellington. Price: $65. [Join Discussion]
Kutuzov uses the same basic rules system as found in The Napoleonic Wars, as it has been modified for even more interactive play in Wellington. As with the later title, there are no diplomatic or political rules: other than those which come into play should Imperial morale fall so low as to trigger the desertion of the Austrians or outright revolt of the Prussians. There are no naval rules other than a Russian ability to move between friendly ports and a "Hornblower" Home Card that allows for a Russian invasion on the Baltic Coast). Kutuzov 1812: Defending Russia From Napoleon is thus primarily a game of manoeuvre and combat, where players can recreate the sweeping movements and legendary battles made so familiar to gamers as brought to life in such great books as Leo Tolstoy's War and Peace.
