Planned features include discussion with many of the top Napoleonic historians, diplomatic speakers from various consulates, a film series, reenactors, a dealer area, and a giant, computer-moderated simulation similar to those run West Point to train its officers. The computer simulation will recreate the Battle of Borodino across a series of maps and three-dimensional terrain using thousands of miniature troops to track positioning during the battle, similar to an interactive museum diorama. Attendees will actively participate by commanding the “troops” during the conference. PBS will be filming the conference for an upcoming episode of a military analysis series on great battles in history. The conference costs $150 and includes all educational programs, events, and meals. Spectator day passes are available at the door for $25, which allow access to lectures and demonstrations, but exclude meals and active participation in the computer simulation.
