Barbary Coast War

As described on the back cover: "Take a side in the first war against terror fought by the young United States against the Barabary [sic] Coast Nations. Historically the War lasted from 1801 till about 1806. The War started when the Barabary [sic] Nations would board vessels that flew the US flag and take those US citizens as slaves. The U.S. DID at first pay tribute the the [sic] Bradshaw [sic] of Tripoli which did make the US a vassel [sic] State of the Ottoman Empire (technically speaking). How and if the United States wins is up to you." From the Guild of Blades "Empires of History" series of Axis and Allies style historical games. Based very loosely on America's war with the Barbary pirates.
