Has anyone done a game based on The Battle of the River Raisin (also called the Battle of Frenchtown), 1813.

Anyone know a good book on this?

Thanks

Funny you should ask Bob, one was just fought at the battlefield visitor center itself. Mid August I believe…

Thanks very very much for showing that! I was thinking of running the same game at a convention being held at that site in February.

I have all the figures that I've used in the past for a battle of Tippicanoe, and British as well. Now I'm not so sure I will do it as it's not unique anymore. The game that is shown as well done but it doesn't look that exciting as it's just the British attacking and the Americans holding firm in the town.

I noticed that Mike Demana was originally consulted on this. Small world, I was thinking of using his French and Indian war rules based on song of drums and shakos to do with the game.
