War of 1812: Thoughts?

[Sir John Cope]

Browsing the WDS catalogue, looking to make the most of the winter discounts, I chanced on War of 1812. I'll probably buy it, but I'd be grateful for any remarks about the scenarios. Particularly, are the scenarios mostly "set-piece" - opposing forces already facing each other and nothing for it but to start shooting - or are there any with room for maneuver before closing to range? I generally prefer some strategic decision-making in moving against the enemy, as opposed to the "inter media res" approach to scenario design where the curtain goes up and the battle is already fixed.
