Michael Emrys Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 My personal strategy for this game,wind up the Peninsular War a bit earlier then send the troops who have been kicking Napoleons' Marshalls' butts all over Spain and Portugal straight across the Atlantic.Those insolent Yankee farmers will have no chance. You do know what happened to the Peninsula veterans at New Orleans, don't you? In any event, once Canada was safe, the fighting in America was small potatoes compared to finally putting Napoleon down. In 1813, 1814, and then in 1815 that was first priority by a large margin.

llhnickerson Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Saying the tactics in the Civil War were limited is a gross oversimplification. Although generally attacking a fixed position in the Civil War was costly/stupid, the same can be said about WW1. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

womble Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Yeah, I'd bet that all of two people would buy that game. But they'd play it for the rest of their natural lives, and that's all that counts, right? Right? Michael If it only covered that particular conflict, maybe. But if it was a family of medieval games which covered different periods in different modules and packs, it'd be fairly popular, I think. Depends if the armour model is detailed enough to account for the personal harness of specific individuals; if it just classed a few (dozen) different types of mail, reinforced mail and plate harness (and the other composite armours that got used at various points), it could be pretty generic and the modders could work on the heraldry... Still, the engine might struggle with battles like Crecy and Agincourt; more flying projectiles at once than most CM games, and lots more pYeomen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLSTK Posted July 16, 2013 Author Share Posted July 16, 2013 Lundy's Lane! Lundy's Lane! I wonder if the flying saucer restaurant was there in 1812? Home of the all-day breakfast. Of course back then they were serving beaver tail. How I miss beaver tail! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 This forum has always been a home for odd characters. Now we have both a cat molester and a guy who fancies beaver tail.

A Canadian Cat Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 I thought beaver tail was just a euphemism for- well you know. Nope it is a desert pastry: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BeaverTails Note the picture of Obama getting his snack on a recent visit to Ottawa. For me they are linked to skating on the canal because they were one of the first food items you could buy from venders along the skate way and as a kid and then a teenager that is what we did skate and eat beaver tails. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BLSTK Posted July 18, 2013 Author Share Posted July 18, 2013 As per the original post, the War of 1812 pitted a coalition of British forces, United Empire Loyalists and Native peoples against the American invaders. In other news, Beaver Tail...not just for breakfast anymore. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canada Guy Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 My military history bookclub read the book The Civil War of 1812: American Citizens, British Subjects, Irish Rebels, & Indian Allies (Alan Taylor) and enjoyed it. Not too jingoistic. One good thing that came out of the war. We gave Detroit back to the Americans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 I thought beaver tail was just a euphemism for- well you know. And that's the usage that I intended to be understood.

A Canadian Cat Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 Because some of you might arrive at this post with expectations of being enlightened... Who can tell me the role Laura Secord played in the War of 1812? She was the wife of a Canadian militia officer and later a spy / informant for the British. Her home was in territory occupied by the American forces and soldiers were billeted at her home. Some how she found out about secret plans for surprise attack they were planning and she managed to slip away and walk many miles to warn the British commander who organized a combined British Mohawk defense that decisively defeated the American attack. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Canadian Cat Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 No beavers involved but I had heard a version of the story that did involve a cow (used as a cover story for being out) but I don't think that was really true. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Canadian Cat Posted July 19, 2013 Share Posted July 19, 2013 I wonder if that story was where the American's 3rd constitutional amendment came from? After all if they had not commandeered her house for billets she would not have overheard their plans and I would not know the words to God Save The Queen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
