Lee, Paul and myself are absolutely delighted to share the exciting news: copies of our book Battle Chronicle - 1812 The Retreat from Moscow will officially be ready to buy from 1st June!
It’s been an absolute pleasure helping bring these rules to life, and what a journey it’s been. This project has been a true labour of love and a real team effort — countless hours of research, writing, playtesting, and refining every detail, with so much hard work, dedication, and passion put in by everyone involved. We wanted to create something that not only works smoothly as a set of wargaming rules but also captures the drama, history, and atmosphere of one of the most famous and brutal campaigns of the Napoleonic Wars. Whether you’re a seasoned wargamer, a history enthusiast, or new to the period, we’ve worked hard to make this book accessible, engaging, and packed with everything you need to recreate those historic battles and retreats on your tabletop.
From 1st June, you’ll be able to purchase the full rules online directly via the Pazoot Website. To say thank you for all the support and interest you’ve shown us along the way, we’ve got an exclusive launch offer: simply enter the discount code RAY10 at checkout, and you’ll get 10% off your order!
We can’t wait for you to get your hands on a copy and start fighting your own battles during the dramatic Retreat from Moscow — thank you for being part of this journey with us.

Nice work Ray, your immortality is now assured as a published author! Hope you make gazillions to fund an early retirement in the South of France!
ReplyDeleteI was thinking Elba might be more fitting as a retirement destination.
DeleteI wish!!! South of France and Elba would be nice though???
DeleteEither sounds nice...mind you, we may have to walk it.
DeleteSounds painful?
DeleteGreat stuff, you all must be really excited about it finally getting released, well worth all the hard work you have all put in.
ReplyDeleteIt is very exciting Donnie, I can't lie!!!
DeleteIt's exciting and terrifying in equal measure.
DeleteQuite an achievement and I hope it brings success. Elba would be nice but many who go there can't settle and subsequently try to relocate to Belgium where the beer is much better.
ReplyDeleteI work in a brewery Lawrence, I don't need to go to Belgium for beer!!!
DeleteDepends if you like warm beer or cold beer Ray....sorry, an antipodean view of English beer 🍺 😉
DeleteWe don't drink warm beer Lawrence, it doesn't have to be freezing to taste good.
DeleteLovely achievement Ray
ReplyDeleteIts a great feeling. Neil.
DeleteGreat job, Ray. But if you get too big headed the retirement may be you being sent to St Helena.
ReplyDeleteI'll be ok, but I can't speak for Lee, he can't fit through the door as it is!!!!
DeleteLOL
DeleteTrue, for multiple reasons 🤣
DeleteLol!
DeleteGood news! All the best for sales!
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed, David?
DeleteWow Ray, that's impressive indeed. If I ever make the mistake of getting into yet another gaming genre I'll definitely keep this publication in mind.
ReplyDeleteHope these things sell like hot-cakes!
I hope so Dai!! The rules are £12 or we've made a deal with Pendraken, you can buy the rules and all the figures for the campaign in 10mm for £30!
DeleteWell done Ray
ReplyDeleteThanks Dave!
DeleteHi there. I regularly follow your blog, and I am really pleased to see this post. I found your project really cool, and what a lovely surprise to see you have turned it into print.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lee, hopefully you'll end up buying a copy?
DeleteWell deserved light at the end of the tunnel!
ReplyDeleteYes, indeed, thanks Norm!
DeleteWhat an accomplishment! Dream of every wargamer out their so kudos to you for getting it done.
ReplyDeleteThanks, it has given me a buzz, I must admit.
DeleteMy order is in, my troops ready and snow is falling [only this last is untrue but i do have the scenery]
ReplyDeleteStephen
Ah thanks Steven!
DeleteSome achievement Ray, well done!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Cheers Iain.
DeleteA superb and well deserved achievement Ray, congrats!
ReplyDeleteThanks Phil!
DeleteWell done fellas, I now know the secret project was that you hinted at when we last met. I've been watching some Big Lee bits on YouTube about it too. Looks great and as you say, a lot of work. I watched the 'Duelists' the other day with that great scene set on the retreat through Russia. Bleak and grim but lots of great wargaming opportunities. Great stuff!
ReplyDeleteIts a lot of fun to play Simon.
DeleteHope it sells well for you both
ReplyDeleteThanks, I hope so too!
DeleteI have put my order in for the Pendraken package Ray.
ReplyDeleteIt may take a while to make to Oz and then a little bit more to make it to the table 😂 but I am looking forward to it.
That's fantastic Ben, thank you!!!! Did you get the 10% off?
DeleteI tried to get the 10% off but it did not work on the Pendraken package, but no worries, worth every penny 😁
DeleteLooks good Ray! Congratulations and good luck on the sales!
ReplyDeleteThanks Chris!!!
