Napoleon felt this, and from the time he took up the correct fencing attitude in Moscow and instead of his opponent's rapier saw a cudgel raised above his head, he did not cease to complain to Kutuzov and to the Emperor Alexander that the war was being carried on contrary to all the rules- as if there were any rules for killing people.
The fencer who demanded a contest according to the rules of fencing was the French army; his opponent who threw away the rapier and snatched up the cudgel was the Russian people; those who try to explain the matter according to the rules of fencing are the historians who have described the event.
The burning of towns and villages, the retreats after battles, the blow dealt at Borodino and the renewed retreat, the burning of Moscow, the capture of marauders, the seizure of transports, and the guerrilla war were all departures from the rules.
To strain the facts to fit the rules of history: to say that the field of battle at Borodino remained in the hands of the Russians, or that after Moscow there were other battles that destroyed Napoleon's army, is impossible.
Let us imagine two men who have come out to fight a duel with rapiers according to all the rules of the art of fencing.

In the Request, Peyrelevade contends that interlocutory review is appropriate and necessary in this case because the ALJ's ruling improperly resolves a controlling issue of law by denying consideration of Peyrelevade's deposition testimony and by barring Peyrelevade from preserving his testimony by way of a testimonial deposition pursuant to Rule 263.27 of the Board's Rules, thereby eliminating his ability to "preserve a full and accurate record for the Board's consideration." Peyrelevade also contends that interlocutory review is appropriate in order to avoid the additional delay and expense of reinitiating the lengthy process of arranging and taking Peyrelevade's deposition in France, which would be required in the event that the Board later modifies the ALJ's June 6 Order.
