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."
