Battlefield 1812 - designed by Brock University. Battlefield 1812 puts you on the front lines of some of the greatest battles from the War of 1812. You are a fictional character responsible for the lives of all those under your command, and more importantly, for the defense of the Niagara Peninsula. From the minor skirmish of Frenchman's Creek, to the grand Battle of Lundy's Lane, you will be responsible for leading the British and colonial troops to victory. The price of failure is nothing less than total subjugation to the land-hungry American invaders. For students in Grades 10-12.
