Description

A Glorious Chance is a thrilling solitaire wargame that drops you into the midst of the War of 1812, where you'll take command of either the US or British naval squadron on Lake Ontario. Your mission is to dominate the lake within a four-month period, but beware - every move you make, from patrols to convoy missions and amphibious landings, risks sparking a fierce battle with the opposing AI squadron. This dynamic opponent will stop at nothing to outmaneuver you, assigning enemy missions, refitting and launching new ships, and plotting raids on your supply routes and coastlines. As you navigate the challenges of the game, you'll need to make strategic decisions about ship missions and assignments, scouting and shadowing enemy forces, and intercepting detected threats. With its unique blend of area movement, campaign and battle card-driven mechanics, and a chit-pull system, A Glorious Chance offers a deeply immersive and realistic gaming experience. What sets it apart is its accessibility - unlike other operational age-of-sail games, it's compact, playable in around four hours, and requires no specialized knowledge of ship-handling or period tactics. Designed by Gina Willis and published in 2023, this game is a must-play for fans of nautical and Napoleonic-era wargames, offering a fresh perspective on a previously overlooked campaign.
