CampaignData: Confrontation at Detroit
Campaign/Detroit1.bmp
As the proposed American offensives in the east stagnate due
to poor leadership, things take a different turn in the west.
Gen. Brock moves to confront Gen. Hull's American invasion force
at Fort Detroit. It is August, 1812 and the outcome here will
set the tone for operations in the west for some time to come;
possibly for the remainder of the war.
Branch: MAIN August 16, 1812
Campaign/Detroit2.bmp
The first major confrontation in the war is about to take place
at Fort Detroit. But what will the two armies do? Will they choose
to fight or try to negotiate a truce? Pressure on both commanders
is great to bring this operation to a decisive end.

that the units he recalled arrive in time to fend off the British.

the threats of massacre sent by Gen. Brock, Gen. Hull decides
to withdraw his forces and head towards Fort Meigs.

and children are to leave first. The plan is to be gone before
the British realize what is happening...
As the army begins its advance towards Fort Detroit, scouts report
little activity. Then they spot a wagon train and elements of
the retreating American force heading into the woods. The order
is given to pursue with all haste!
035.Detroit_c.scn/ -75 BVICTORY BVICTORY DRAW AVICTORY AVICTORY
The British have proposed a truce, but their Indian allies aren't
satisfied with that. While the main British force is on the other
side of the river, you still have to face several hundred hostile
Indians...
Gen. Hull has accepted your terms and a truce is in place. Tecumseh
and his warriors are not satisfied with your choice however,
and they depart the camp looking for a fight.
037.Detroit_d.scn/ 25 BVICTORY BVICTORY BVICTORY DRAW AVICTORY
Gen. Hull has decided to take advantage of the proposed truce
and evacuate his force to Fort Meigs. Better to live and fight
another day...

and they depart the camp looking for a fight.

Terminal: AVICTORY American Victory
Campaign/AVictory.bmp
The Americans stifle the British plans and keep the bulk of their
force in tact. Hull is a hero, his army is emboldened and the
invasion of Canada can now begin in earnest.
Terminal: BVICTORY British Victory
Campaign/BVictory.bmp
The American forces are crushed, as are the hopes for an American
invasion of Canada from the west. General Hull is disgraced and
must now face the politicians who are looking to place blame
for the defeat.
