A period with great personalities, small battles (i.e. small investment) and simple tactics. The last chance for the native americans to stop the tide against them. Whats not to like? A little played period for some unknown reason. After all, without the war the USA would not have a unsingible national anthem.

I'll add in Joshua Barney, not only for his naval exploits, but for his performance with his flotillamen and Marines at Bladensburg. Their stand against the British was noteworthy.
