Comanda ironclad nella Guerra di Secessione americana, opponendo l'USS Monitor alla CSS Virginia e guidando squadroni di navi corazzate a vapore in battaglia. Il tempo scorre a tappe, con te e l'IA che alternate le azioni per ogni nave durante cinque minuti di combattimento simulato in tempo reale, mentre le altre unità restano ferme nei tuoi turni. Le mappe riproducono fedelmente la scala 1:1 tratta da fonti storiche, e i percorsi delle navi obbediscono a una fisica realistica basata su velocità, dimensioni e forma autentiche.
Affronta le campagne USA o CSA in 14 missioni con 54 navi uniche, per un totale di 80 ore di gioco tra successi alternativi confederati come flotte costruite in Europa. Modelli 3D realistici ispirati ai progetti originali, con fisica che gestisce collisioni, allagamenti, incendi e impatti balistici da tabelle di artiglieria. I fan della strategia che amano la precisione turn-based e la simulazione navale storica troveranno qui una sfida profonda.
<p>Battle of the civil war ironclads. Take part in battles from USS Monitor vs CSS Virginia before battles between armored squadrons of steamships and other vessels.</p>
<p>The flow of time is organized into rounds. Within the limits of each round, the player and the computer opponent take turns executing all actions possible within five minutes of real time combat for each of their ships. At the moment when the selected active ship is carrying out an action, all other game units are motionless. Time for decision-making is not limited.</p>
<p>Game locations are presented in real 1:1 scale and are not divided into cells or hexagons. The trajectory of movement of the active ship is determined by laws of physics and calculated using realistic speed, size and shape of a unit.</p>
<p>The campaign based on alternate outcomes of events which assume a more favourable position for the Confederation in the first two years of the conflict, including diplomatic recognition and construction of a stronger, more balanced Southern fleet in European shipyards.</p>
<p>USA and CSA campaigns: 14 missions, 80 hours of game time, 54 unique ships. USS Monitor, CSS Virginia, USS New Ironsides and others Civil War ironclads 3d models.</p><br /><br />
<h2>Key features:</h2><ul>
<li>Historical accuracy: the game's locations are created based on historical maps and other surviving documents and accounts of real battles</li>
<li>3D models of the civil war ironclads and other warships are based on original drawings and designs from archives, or those restored by experts using photos, models and descriptions of the ships that participated in the Civil War</li>
<li>Realness: use of real specifications of the civil war ironclads and other warships: the size, hull contours, displacement, construction materials and design, quality and arrangement the crew and armament, speed and acceleration</li>
<li>Calculations of physical interactions such as collisions between ships, flooding and capsizing, shell modeling, ammunition fires and flooding</li>
<li>Use of a special ballistic calculator on the basis of original artillery tables for definition of accuracy, penetration ability, explosion and shrapnel damage</li>
</ul>
