A quick glance at 1812:The Retreat

1812:The Retreat is a freezing race for survival for 1 to 4 officers in snowy Russia. Playing time: 60 (solo) to 120 minutes (multiplayer) Difficulty: 3/5 You are a captain leading your remaining company of soldiers from Moscow during Napoleon's catastrophic campaign of 1812. Survive the retreat by making to Vilnius or to the Polish border. Each soldier is worth a number of VP's at the end of the game. A soldier that loses all of his strength dies on the side of the road or freezes at the bivouac and is disqualified. The player with the most points at the end of the game wins! Needless to say - and as you are accustomed to with the designs from Jason St.Just - the game is very immersive and cuttthroat. For those wanting an even more immersive experience, there is also a "BATTLE EXPANSION" where the soldiers can be called upon to do battle on the fields of Maloyaroslavetz, Viazma, and Krasnoi...of course, having come this far, being engaged in a battle on enemy territory is far from ideal.
