Hints:
Keep in mind the rules regarding "threat values". Formation changes
attempted while enemy forces are nearby may fail. Lower-quality units
cannot be expected to change formation successfully on a consistent basis
in the presence of the enemy.
Given the broken terrain of the Borodino battlefield and the lower quality
of the troops, you will probably want to move and fight in column.
Infantry in line can easily become disrupted by obstructed terrain and
stacking with other types of forces.
Don't overuse cavalry charges! Never expect a charge to carry a prepared
enemy force. Artillery and infantry should be used to soften up the
position before sending in the cavalry. Also, pay attention to terrain
features prior to conducting a cavalry charge. Cavalry need large areas of
unobstructed terrain to make an effective charge.
