Where it came from
Borodino was published in 1972 by Simulations Publications, Inc. as part of their QuadriGame series, a format designed to provide accessible, compact wargames that could be played in a single sitting. The game centers on the Napoleonic Battle of Borodino, simulating the tactical maneuvers and attrition of the 1812 conflict between the French Grande Armée and the Russian Imperial Army.
The game was designed by Jim Dunnigan, a pivotal figure in the development of 1970s wargaming who emphasized historical simulation through clean, functional design. Like many SPI titles of that era, it utilized a hex-and-counter system that prioritized logistical accuracy and terrain effects. While early SPI games were sometimes criticized for their stark aesthetic, this title remains a notable example of the company's efforts to bring complex historical military engagements to a broader hobbyist audience.
