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. |
