Subtitled "War of 1812 Land and Naval Battles." From the publisher: England is at war with Napoleon in Europe. American honor is being tarnished as the British Navy seizes American shipping and impresses her sailors in sight of her shores. America launches a war to regain her honor and perhaps capture Canada from England, thus securing her northern border. The war will see the burning of the White House by the British and a great battle won by America after the war is officially over. The American Navy will distinguish itself against the greatest naval power in the world. You are in command at New Orleans, Chippewa, Lundy's Lane, and many other land battles. On the water in command of the Constitution and other ships, can you bring the British Navy to her knees? It's up to you, For Honor and Glory! Game includes land map, naval map, terrain tiles, hardwood wooden counters, labels, miniature ships, dice, rules and scenario booklets.
