Posties Rejects at Broadside 2026 - The Retreat from Moscow - Crossing the Berezina 1812

 

This year at the Broadside Wargames Show in Gillingham, Posties Rejects are putting on a demo game

from The Retreat from Moscow in 1812.

Crossing the Berezina

The French army began crossing the Berezina River on November 26, 1812. The crossing, which lasted until November 29, 1812, took place under heavy enemy fire and resulted in a chaotic and desperate escape during the retreat from Moscow.

Stupidly me and Lee have left everything until the last minute, even though we finished (cough) painting our figures for the game months ago. The pics in this post were from only our second game of Shap Practice, which worked out a lot better than our first game did. We've added a few things and taken away a few things from the rules, as we're playing with bigger armies than the rules are supposed to cope with. But we seem to have everything worked out and this game really playedbetter than we both expected it to.

Myself and Lee and Paul will have some copies of our book Battle Chronicle - 1812 The Retreat from Moscow, available to buy, at the show. A release date of June the 1st has been finalized as I said in my last post.

The rules themselves cost £12 and will be available to purchase online on the Pazoot Website, if you enter the discount code RAY10, at the checkout, you'll get 10%, off the price!!!

Need figures to play the game?

We’ve teamed up with the guys at Pendraken who have bagged up everything you need to get started.

The rules and figures bundle is £30 and includes all the figures you need to play.

Grab yours here. And don't forget the code RAY10.

So if you fancy seeing the game in real life come along to the show, its on Saturday the 13th June and starts at 10am at Medway Park Sports Centre, Mill Road, Gillingham, Kent, ME7 1HF.

It's only £4 to get in, so come and join us at the show!!!

Battle Chronicle - 1812 The Retreat from Moscow - Available Soon!!!!!

 

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.
