Ironclads looks somewhat familiar. I recall testing a product from Talonsoft back in the 90s called “Age of Ironclads” or such. The game ended up as vaporware.
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 go to CSA Civil War Ironclads
