24 Turns. 1st Player: American. [What if?] The War of 1812 began in the Northwest with American defeats at Mackinac and Detroit. Historically, British General Isaac Brock cleverly bluffed the aging American General Hull into surrendering Fort Detroit without a fight. For the Americans, it was an inauspicious beginning to the war and their ambitious plan to invade Canada. This scenario assumes that Hull attempted a proper defense of the fort and town instead. The return of the American detachment under McArthur and Cass is guaranteed. Can the British carry the positions by steel instead of guile, or will they be forced to retreat back into Canada?
