Description
This game is a realistic simulation of the strategic situation faced by British and American alike in that fiery decade when the United States won its independence. Actually, 1776 is six games in one: a Basic Game that gets you quickly and easily into the routine of simulation gaming; and Advanced Game with four scenarios that provides additional complexity and realism; and a Campaign Simulation Game that encompasses the entire war and balances successes in one region against failures in another — truly the ultimate in a simulation gaming experience. And if you don't have the time for a complete Campaign Game, there are four scenarios to choose from; each of which poses a challenge for everyone; from the most erudite of military historians to the fellow who just managed to pass American History.
