WBritain 1/32 Field Marshal Kutuzov (17362)
The War of 1812 was Kutuzov's greatest campaign. Alexander relieved Mikhail Barclay de
Tolly after his retreat from Smolensk and appointed Kutuzov, hoping thereby to see a more
active resistance to the French onslaught. Kutuzov, however, continued Barclay de Tolly's
program of retreating in the face of superior French numbers, until he stood to battle at
Borodino. Following that combat, Kutuzov continued his withdrawal, eventually abandoning
Moscow and retreating to the south. He defeated Napoleon's attempt to break out to the
richer pastures of Ukraine at the Battle of Maloyaroslavets, and then harried the
retreating French forces all the way to the Russian frontier and beyond. He died on April
28, 1813, a few weeks after having been relieved of command of the Russian armies for the
last time
