I have recently become aware of some great games based on the battles of the retreat from Moscow that have been staged by the Ateliers of the Portes d'argent who, while they have moved from the rue des portes d'argent, have still retained their eponymous title!

See Franck's reports of their games based on the Second Battle of Polotsk, 18th October 1812, Battle of Maloyaroslavets, 24th October 1812 and, most recently, the Second Battle of Krasnoe, 17th November 1812. They have a produced a scenario for Second Battle of Viasma, 3rd–4th November 1812, but are yet to play that game, so we look forward to it soon—and the Berezina, j'éspère?!

The game reports are in French, which, may be a challenge for some readers, but you can enjoy the wonderful pictures that accompany each report, or copy and paste the text into an online translator, such as google translate!
