Wargaming the War of 1812 blog!

I found this new blog created with the view to creating sets of rules for doing this conflict in miniature in 2012. Good on him. I'd probably do it in 1/72 scale though with Imex doing some useful figures. I've been looking around the web for this era in history and I don't think the Yanks are switched onto the potential for the bicentennial of this pivotal and colourful conflict. Yet. I think I've said this before on this blog but the fact there are no major Hollywood movies dealing with this war between Britain, Canada and the US means that its profile suffers. If you can think of any let me know...
