Very nice game. The beautiful and correct ships. All as in military historical books. Here only very short and little bit boring demo. I shall wait this game.

I downloaded this game and played it from both sides. I rammed the Monitor with the Virginia and gave it a few good broadsides causing some damage. However, the buttons seemed a little slow to react to my command and when I could click the finish button, it would tell me to finish my ship movements. I would try to finish ship movements, but it would appear as if I kept getting more and more move allowance, but yet I couldn’t use it and the program would tell me to again finish moving my ships. I think this problem could be solved with a “movement bar” which shows the player how much ship movement he has left. In addition, I found it difficult to move the screen around so that I could zoom in and zoom out and change my view of the action. Overall…its a demo, and it shows. There needs to be some more improvement in the player interaction screen and it needs to be a little more user friendly. I love the idea though and with some changes, it could be a great game.

I love Civil War Ironclads, especially the Confederate ones. It was incredible what the South could do considering their lack of manufacturing capability. To learn more about the diversity of CSA Ironclads of the American Civil War and a few of the Union ones, too, go to CSA Civil War Ironclads

I don’t game much anymore, but in my day the only computer simulation on this theme was the “vaporware” Age of Ironclads (or was it Age of Iron?) promised from Talonsoft.
