War on the Great Lakes Frontier","description":"\u003cp\u003eEurope had been engaged in a war with Napoleon’s France for nearly ten years when the United States thought the time was right to pluck the jewel of Canada from the Crown of one of the mightiest powers on Earth, Great Britain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e“The defence of Canada depends upon the navigation of the lakes…operations out of Canada must be preceded by the establishment of naval superiority on the lakes.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e– Duke of Wellington 1814\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Great Lakes of North America provide the theatre for the freshwater navies of the United States and Great Britain to refight the engagements that will determine the shape of a nation. As the Iron Duke suggests, both players will need to carefully deploy their fresh water navies to blunt the advance of the opposing armies and interdict supply.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1812! War on the Great Lakes Frontier is played across maps depicting the Great Lakes and the settlements carved out of the heavily forested wilderness of the old Northwest. Both players engage in a naval arms race to construct new warships from the surrounding forests, augmenting their original fleets. Inexperienced US commodores and crews sail against the salty veterans of the Royal Navy and fight the US Navy’s first fleet engagement at the Battle of Lake Erie, the only instance in which an entire British fleet surrendered.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lantzalot Game Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52255599100135,"sku":null,"price":109.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0739\/2765\/5655\/files\/1812_WarontheGreatLakesFrontier.jpg?v=1782568217","url":"https:\/\/www.lantzalotgames.com\/products\/1812-war-on-the-great-lakes-frontier","provider":"Lantzalot Game Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
