24 Turns. 1st Player: American. [What if? w/ Alternate Weather] **This variant of the second 'What if?' Fort Meigs scenario simulates a rainy, overcast day. Movement is reduced, and both dawn and dusk last an hour longer due to cloud cover.** The British and their Indian allies under Tecumseh opened their offensive in the Northwest in 1813 with an assault on Fort Meigs in Ohio. This variant of the historical scenario represents the approximate situation on the morning of May 5th, 1813, but allows for the arrival of the American relief force on the south shore of the Maumee rather than the north. Also, much of the British force on the north shore is fixed until 7:45 am. Historically, the British General Proctor kept his heaviest guns and much of his infantry on the north bank of the Maumee River. Though most of his Indian force was in proper position, only a portion of his army crossed to the south bank to directly assault the fort, defended by William Henry Harrison and his small force of regulars and militia. The attack was poorly conceived and executed, and the superior numbers the British enjoyed were not put to effective use. With an American relief column on the south shore, British hopes for victory are slim.
