tip: 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.
tip: 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.
tip: 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.
