I was going to try this one out, but then noticed something which seemed unusual. All the U.S. leaders have the same senority (26 or something such), and all of them have a command ability of only two, regardless of how many stars they have.

Is this in error, or is it the result of a special rule that applies only to that scenario?

Hi - I was scanning the 1813 scenario and it looks awesome - can't wait to play it. I did notice however, an inconsistency in the spelling of the city Cleveland, which is sometimes spelled Cleaveland. Cleveland is the correct spelling.

Thanks for the bonus scenario! :coeurs:

Hi,

Allow me to disagree, your city was named Cleaveland until 1831. Unless I'm mistaken that is :)

I believe Pocus is correct. The city was named after Moses Cleaveland, in 1796. In 1831 a local paper changed the spelling to Cleveland, ditching the "a" so it could fit their masthead. From what I can gather, although this spelling change was never official, it has stuck to this day. It's pretty safe to say that the process would be a little more formal in this day and age.

As far as the 1813 scenario goes, I've noticed that Robert Purdy has Pocus' placeholder for his portrait. Pocus is grinning like a Cheshire cat. ;)

This has to be the height of embarassement!

My native city and I don't even know the correct history as well as a Frenchman! Ah well. C'est la vie. :)

You two are correct... good catch. It is still inconsistently spelled within the game... I believe the militia are called Cleveland in the scenario.

And Ashtabula isn't spelled Asthabula.... nor is Sandusky spelled Sandosky. Though, I'm not postive. And today Lorain is east of Sandusky, but then again... I can't be sure!

You know, we did not knew before making the map that Cleveland was named Cleaveland... its just that Philippe Thibaut had some historical maps of the said period when work began on giving names to regions and cities.
