Provincial troops were raised by the colonial governors and legislatures for extended operations. The provincial troops differed from the militia, in that they were a full-time military organization conducting extended operations; differing from the regular British Army in that they were recruited only for one campaign season at a time. These forces were often recruited through a quota system applied to the militia.

Introduction
This is an interesting game recreating the nightmare Napoleon found himself in 1812. The player commands a depleted Grande Armée attempting to cross the Berezina River as it disintegrates. It’s pretty depressing for the player but gives a good insight and feel into what happened over those four fateful days.

Play of the Game
I found it a very tough game to play with the outdated solitaire rules not helping. Also the  Russians would have a huge advantage in a two-player game. I added some new solitaire rules as I played. These rules make the Russian AI more detailed and should give for a smoother game.
