War of 1812 the Canadain troops - still under British control - but separate from the British mainland fought south all the way to Washington D.C - when they got there they burned most of D.C to the ground - sacked the city and then there was nothing left to do so they returned to Canada.
Actually, we retook New York blockading their return passage. We couldn't retake DC with the British bombarding us and Canada didn't have enough troops left to fight their way back.
Technically, we didn't lose as we accomplished our goals. We started the war of 1812 end British trade embargoes against us, British support of the native populations, and British funding of political parties in the US.
All of those came to an end and to this both political parties don't trust British interest in the affairs of the Americas (Monroe Doctrine), Canada has been our ally ever since, the Natives signed reservation agreements and no one since has disputed our claims to the Louisiana Purchase.
In fact the death of all of our lobbyists, lawyers and politicians is a large reason as to why we like Canada so much.
Probably the only loser was the British, who lost Canada as a result of growing nationalism due to the evidence that the Canada's militia was more effective than England's military. While Britain has to forever cede its efforts to retake any land in mainland North American with the exception of Belize and some scantly populate Caribbean islands.
Sorry for the soapbox, minored in PoliSci and the War of 1812 was the birth of modern American politics.
Scheduled maintenance. I'm probably daft, but where is that schedule, so I can check before leaving work if it's possible to play the game when I get home?

Humour: Well your join date is new so....
Schedule maintenance are usually either Thursday or Fridays in what would be the morning time for the Pacific US time zone. They try to do it at the same time each week. (Or at least it seems that way)
They also announce it 12-24 hours a head of time here in the forums as well as in the launcher.

edit: Oh and we're back up and running.
Yep, I'm very new.
I know about the Thursdays by now, but last week there were 2 scheduled maint. This week there has been 2. The word schedule to me means 'planned at least a week ahead'. I hope it's much longer than that when dealing with live servers used by many people around the globe... Anyhow, let's play....
