A Glorious Chance: The Naval Struggle for Lake Ontario in the War of 1812

Be piped aboard for a four-month naval campaign on Lake Ontario during the War of 1812. Command either the U.S. or British squadron in a solitaire board wargame, assigning patrols, scouting and shadowing enemy forces, escorting convoys, launching amphibious assaults, and intercepting opposing ships. A card-driven opponent directs enemy missions, refits and launches vessels, and raids supply routes and coastlines. Control the lake by summer’s end without losing the squadron.
