Fury on Champlain

From 3W:

IT IS SEPTEMBER 1814. For two years Britain and America have been locked in a spiteful war. Now, following the defeat of Napoleon, Canada’s Governor-General George Prevost has been reinforced, and sees a chance to strike a real blow. His plan is to clear the British from Lake Champlain, and seize the neighboring territory—perhaps as far south as Fort Ticonderoga. In this way he will drive a British-controlled wedge between the states of New York and Vermont, and gain considerable leverage at the peace negotiations which must surely take place soon. In his path lies the little town of Plattsburgh...

FURY ON CHAMPLAIN features both land and naval warfare in a novel, integrated way. Pure naval actions can and will occur, especially if the Rritish can complete the frigate Confiance before her island base is overrun. Ships can also transport troops, and bring their pewerful guns to bear on enemy celumns and land defenses. The forces at hand include infantry, cavalry, militia, spies, artillery, engineers, Indians, and marines, as well as bridge trains, blockhouses, road blocks, redoubts, and entrenchments. The British win by controlling Lake Champlain and exiting units off the southern map edge, or occupying Plattsburg. The Americans win by denying the British their victory conditions, or executing a successful invasion of Canada. Ground scale is 1 mile per hex, and each game-turn represents 1-3 days of real time. The game system rewards both tactical skill and strategic foresight, and victory will often be uncertain until the very last turn.
