  Mikhail Ilarionovich Kutuzov
On the eve of Austerlitz Kutuzov tried to prevent the Allied generals from fighting a battle, and when he was overruled took so little interest in the event that he fell asleep during the reading of the orders.
Kutuzov gave battle at Borodino (7 September 1812), and suffered a defeat, but not a decisive one, and after retreating to the south-west of Moscow, he forced Napoleon into retreat.
Early in 1813 Kutuzov carried the war into Germany, took command of the allied Russians and Prussians, and prepared to raise all central Europe in arms against Napoleon's domination, but before the opening of the campaign he fell ill and died on 28 March 1813 at Bunzlau[?].

Kutuzov is an interactive, play it complete in one-sitting card-driven game of sweeping manoeuvres, epic battles, storied sieges, lethal attrition and crucial-to-win troop morale for one to four players from the designer of The Napoleonic Wars and Wellington.
Kutuzov uses the same basic rules system as found in The Napoleonic Wars, as it has been modified for even more interactive play in Wellington.
Kutuzov is thus primarily a game of manoeuvre and combat, where players can recreate the sieges and legendary battles made so familiar to gamers as brought to life in such great books as Leo Tolstoy's War and Peace.

Napoleon sought a general engagement, but Kutuzov's strategy was to wear down the French by incessant minor engagements while retreating and preserving his army.
Although the battle itself was inconclusive, Kutuzov lost almost half his troops and afterward withdrew to the southeast, allowing the French forces to enter Moscow.
Kutuzov's troops harried the retreating French, engaging them at Vyazma and Krasnoye, and the remnants of Napoleon's army narrowly escaped annihilation at the crossing of the Berezina River in late November.

Kutuzov was overridden when requesting that the Allies wait for reinforcements; Shosenberg writes that Kutuzov “mentally abdicated” his command after these decisions and slept through von Weyrother’s battle plan presentation.

Mikhail Kutuzov may not have been a great general (I don’t know either way) and he is often characterized as “boastful,” but it seems that he knew his army’s strengths and weaknesses well enough to keep them alive and was, eventually, able to help repel the generally superior armies of the French.

In 1802 Kutuzov fell out of favour politically and retired to the country only to be recalled in 1805 as Russia declared war on France as part of the Third Coalition.
Tsar Alexander blamed Kutuzov for the defeat and removed him from command but his rescue of the army and past service helped Kutuzov secure himself the post of Governor General of Kiev in 1806 and of Vilinus in 1809.
Whether Kutuzov was a great general is open to debate although he served the Russian army in high rank for 20 years he never defeated Napoleon in a decisive battle.
