About Clad in Iron: Gulf of Mexico 1864
CLAD in IRON: Gulf of Mexico 1864 is a American Civil War alternate history naval game in which a turned-based wargame and a real-time strategy are combined.
Alternate history is a genre of fiction consisting of stories in which historical events occur differently. These stories contain "what if" scenarios at crucial points in history and present outcomes other than those in the historical record.
Historical Events:
By the summer of 1864, the city of Mobile remained the last major seaport of the Confederation in the Gulf of Mexico. After the defeat in the Red River campaign, Union troops were preparing for new battles. The American naval forces, under the command of the legendary rear admiral David Farragut, were replenished with ironclads. The fall of the Mobile would allow the United States to dominate the Gulf of Mexico. The French intervention in Mexico, the Spanish power over Cuba, and the financial interests of the British Empire in Central America would have been under American threat.
"What if" Scenario:
France, Britain and Spain have decided to deal a preemptive blow to the United States. The reason for the intervention of European powers was the defense of the Confederacy from the «aggression of the North».
Gameplay Description:
Manage your fleet and army, hunt the enemy's fleet, hide your weak squadrons in protected ports until reinforcements arrive, blockade enemy trade routes, amphibious assaults and harbour sieges, struggle for dominance over the seas in turned-based strategic mode - all of these actions are possible in Clad in Iron: Gulf of Mexico 1864.
The real time tactical battle mode allows you to set up battles and squadron groups with their formations and management using realistic ship models and characteristics as well as advanced ballistics and weapon models. Choose your ships, increase the experience of your crews and send your squadron into the high seas. Command a battle formation and experience the power of iron and steam in a turned-based maritime strategy mode while fighting battles with a tactical real time naval simulation game.

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Although the $9.99 dollar price tag might seem a bit much, this game is well worth every cent of it. If you have even a passing interest in the subject matter, then this game is for you. Clad in Iron: Gulf of Mexico 1864 is, without a doubt, a seriously fun, intense, involving simulation of age of steam naval combat with nearly infinite replay value. It is a more than worthy successor to Ironclads Series. This is a very peculiar game. I recommend buying ONLY fans of naval games, who will not be afraid to read the manual.9 found this helpful
This is an alternate history naval campaign game. Basically, what if the European powers decided to intervene in the Civil War. On the strategic map, it is… decent, and somewhat easy to figure out. Not so much on the battle maps. Goal is to have more victory points at the end. Suggest getting on discount.2 found this helpful
Great game!
When you first start, you will not have fun, make sure to read the manual and restart the game a few times till you feel like you understand the mechanics. This game is realistic in the fact that when facing 2 naval superpowers you will be on the back foot. But not all hope is lost, once you understand the mechanics its becomes fun to feel like David. If you like old total war naval games this is a strong recommendation
Good concept but some bugs (ie sometimes ships just stop being able to hit enemy ships, or ships fire but there seem to be no projectiles) and a bit crashy as well. Second crash in six hours. Campaign system is okay but a bit fiddly. Its workable though.
7/10
