Strategy & Tactics - Game - 225 - Greatest Tank Battle



Description: Twilight’s Last Gleaming 2 (TLG2) presents three important battles fought in the later stages of the War of 1812 (Lundy's Lane, Chippewa, and the Thames). The Americans re-secured their control of the Old Northwest and then attempted to win the war by invading and conquering Canada. TLG2 is a follow-on to the original TLG, which was published in S&T #184 (Mar/Apr 1997) and covered the battles of Bladensburg, North Point and New Orleans.

The games are low complexity 2-player tactical scale simulations. Each turn is equivalent to 15 to 60 minutes of actual battle time. The battles were characterized by bursts of rapid and savage movement and combat, interspersed by periods of relative inactivity. One player commands the American forces, while the other commands the Anglo-Canadian opposition. The American player is generally on the offensive in all three games, but the Anglo-Canadian player also has ample opportunity for counterattack.
