Colonial Campaigns Club (CCC)

Given that the French SUCCEEDED in keeping New France...at least for a while...the Revolutionary War was HORRIBLY delayed.......until 1777........thus the creation of the UNITED STATES........meanwhile...the exhausted over-sexed French had long ago acquiesced to the Royal Crown of Great Britain.....

is everyone keeping up here???

Despite losing the Thirteen Colonies to George Washington and the American revolutionaries twenty-five years earlier, England, like many on the European continent, did not take the United States that seriously.

Supporting its allies in Spain and Portugal, Britain’s army was on the Iberian Peninsula, involved in a struggle with Napoleon Bonaparte, who had marshaled the forces of Revolutionary France under his penumbra.

Given the intelligence and education system of the UNITED STATES....(what too soon )...this presented a PERFECT OPPORTUNITY...............

On June 18, 1812, the United States stunned the world by declaring war on Great Britain.

In celebration of the upcoming 200th anniversary of the American attempt at the CONQUEST OF CANADA...we are anouncing a new CLUB TOURNEY

Please stay tuned for details

....now discuss.........

Sir, I am ready for assignment.

I think I am allied with the Americans (correct?), but defer to your accounting in this matter

Yes Sir, I believe you would be with the Americans. So we need to find A British Officer or Native Brave to take you on. Also, any Canadian Voyageurs - militia units, will side with the British. So check the history of your unit!!
