In 1812, Napoleon took the greatest risk of his military career. His conquest of continental Europe had resulted in every major power having been defeated by his military might. But one conquest remained, that of Russia and her armies. This campaign, over the vast distances of Russia, would be far different and far longer than any he had attempted before.

The French and their allies must choose Moscow, St. Petersburg or both as the Russians must try to prevent this or destroy Napoleon’s army without being destroyed themselves.
