Yes yo...Colin always an honour to have visit here. Yes you are correct th e campaign ended in a draw with both sides back where they started. But that was kind of the entire war in a nut shell. As one historian wrote about the war; "Still, almost everyone involved walked off happy. The Americans are happy because they think they won. The Canadians were happier because they know they won--they remained part of the British Empire. And the British are happiest because they’ve forgotten all about it."<br />Old Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10414321650267966787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4326103304951020757.post-36315866496880643902016-10-08T07:56:21.778-04:002016-10-08T07:56:21.778-04:00Fantastic job on the unit and excellent "+&qu...Fantastic job on the unit and excellent "+" history. From my time in the service I can tell you that the identity of the US Army is linked to this conflict in a very fundamental way since the unit lineages begin here, basically. Even soldiers and officers who don't know that they're referring to the War of 1812 or the Battle of Lundy's Lane in particular know of traditions and incidents stemming from them, like "I'll try sir," and "Regulars, by gawd." <br /><br />Well done and "+" to know about the history of the campaign and also of the linkage to US Army culture that is linked to it. <br /><br /> Ed Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11486985414917229516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4326103304951020757.post-23010680756892002992016-10-07T18:49:20.168-04:002016-10-07T18:49:20.168-04:00Good work on the figures and I appreciate your his...Good work on the figures and I appreciate your historical background on a conflict to which I am unfamiliar.Jonathan Freitaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07862373894196924886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4326103304951020757.post-50964496439873467112016-10-07T16:47:51.895-04:002016-10-07T16:47:51.895-04:00Mark, I think these figures and those of the earl...Mark, I think these figures and those of the earlier post are splendid. A great campaign to recreate and though I may be corrected as I am no expert neither side really won. Some great battles to refight though. <br />Colin Ashtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11650235978313356607noreply@blogger.com
