[ What If? ]
Around 2PM Murat led the advance guard of Napoleon's Grande Armee on to the plains west of Borodino.
In the distance he spotted the Russian fortifications near Shevardino.
Wisely - and perhaps uncharacteristically - Murat reined in his cavalry and waited
for Infantry support to arrive before engaging the Russians.
What if the brash cavalry leader had instead launched
his cavalry straightaway at the Russians?
