This is a quick placeholder for a new WiA AAR between myself and Narwhal. This time we're doing the 1812 scenario with Narwhal as the British (he seems to like them for some reason) and me as the Americans. As with Wars In America: a How to AAR, we'll both post so you can see the game from our mutual perspectives (but without some of the detail that AAR contained).
I'll do a pregame overview from the US side soon just to set the scene and then it'll be a while before we start posting strategy and outcome (for obvious reasons). This scenario is 'simpler' than the Seven Years War, it doesn't seem to have the same sweep of that (especially all the Indian mischief). However, we will try to spread mayhem and destruction on a continental scale
