What is Ironclads! Naval Warfare in the Age of Sails and Steam
Ironclads! is a relatively fast play set of rules covering naval warfare, along with its associated land combat, set in the ironclad era of 1860-1879.
Don't turn your nose up at the fast play designation. Fast play does not in the least mean lacking in era ambience or that the rules are simplistic in any way. Far from it!
Ironclads! covers all aspects of naval warfare of the era, from fleet actions, such as the Battle of Lissa, to the riverine fights of the American Civil War. Also included are well thought out rules for land combat that includes a unique system that separates and qualifies army training and armament. Thus the rules reflect not only how well trained soldiers are, but also how well they are equipped.
Ironclads! uses exclusively six sided dice and has easy to learn and exceedingly smooth mechanics that make the game a joy to play.
