Description: The battle at Klushino, fought at 4 July 1610 was one of the most brilliant victories in the history of Poland. Army of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth under the hetman Żółkiewski with about 3000 men met the forces of Moscow and western mercenaries with at last 18 000 men. Devastating victory was possible thanks to the winged hussars, heavy cavalry that was unstoppable for the enemies. Victory at Klushino opened the way for Moscow and allowed Poles to capture capital city of Russia. The game contains three scenarios with two of them showing key moments of the battle and the third gives players more freedom with setting their armies up for the combat. Can players use the big mass of Russian soldiers and their very good western allies to stop the Polish forces?
