Warriors of America

“I woke last night shaking from a frightful dream. We have come to the edge of the ocean, and there is no advancing or retreating. My own sons may sink in the torrent. I wish I pray, that there be some decent, honorable way to put an end to this conflict, to be once again reconciled with old friends. Our cause is righteous, and I have no doubt of final success, but I see our generation, and perhaps our whole land, drowned in blood.”
– Sarah Scott was an English novelist, translator, social reformer, and member of the Bluestockings

Warriors of America is a fast-playing game on the American War of Independence, inspired by the well-received game Warriors of God. It features the leaders, soldiers, fleets, and events that were pivotal in this war. The map is focused on the colonized coastal regions while reaching west to Indiana and north into Canada. Major events will shape each season and both sides will call on their allies; the French, Spanish, and Dutch rallying to the Americans, and Hessian mercenaries coming to the aid of the British. The American player must raise money and an army that, while less trained, is highly motivated to prevent the British player – commanding perhaps the greatest army in the world – from putting out a revolutionary fire that is about to change history.
