Battleground 6: Napoleon in Russia
                tip: Skirmishers can be used effectively
                both offensively and defensively. Deploy
                them a hex or two in front of your main line
                and they can act as a shield. Skirmishers are
                also extremely difficult to dislodge from
                obstructed terrain.

                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.
