Replacement Borodino Counters : Index

Note:  This is not the complete game; you’ll still need an original set from SPI for the rules and such.  This is a set of unit counters for use with the original game map.

Note that there are two counters for the Russian 27^th Infantry Division:  a 5−4 for the 5 Sep and Grand Battle scenarios, and a 3−4 for the 6 Sep and 7 Sep scenarios.

Also note that there are two French cavalry division counters marked “5 Hvy”:  one in the “IC Res” cavalry corps, and one in the “IIIC Res” corps.  This is not an error.  I researched this as well as I could, and found historical references to the 5th Heavy Div in both corps, and none to a 3rd Heavy Div, as I would have expected.  Moreover, the original SPI counter set has two counters marked “5Hvy” to the right of the cavalry symbol, with “1” and “3” to the left, so this is definitely what is intended.  SPI, however, appears to have exchanged the two counters in their setup illustrations.

This set has an improved setup method:  each ½−inch counter has the setup locations on the back (along with an unpacking of most abbreviations of the unit designations on the front).

• French units:
• Letter:number, and two hex-numbers
• The starting area (A, B, or C) and turn for the 5 September setup
• The starting hexes for the 6 September and 7 September setups.
• Letter:number, and one hex-number
• The starting area and turn for the 5 and 6 September setups
• The starting hex for the 7 September setup.
• Russian units:
• Three hex-numbers
• Starting hexes for the 5, 6, and 7 September setups
• “East:turn”
• Indicates the turn that a Moskow Militia unit enters from the east edge
