A l’occasion de sa sortie au début du mois voici deux bande-annonces d’un nouveau titre de la série anciennement connue sous le nom de Ironclads. Et qui est désormais renommée Clad in Iron. Le principe reste bien évidemment le même, à savoir simuler des batailles navales aux temps des premiers cuirassés, ici en l’occurrence dans une déclinaison hypothétique de la guerre de Sécession, what-if dans lequel la France, l’Angleterre et l’Espagne décidèrent de frappes préventives sur la jeune nation des États-Unis.
Au menu, gestion de flottes et batailles tactiques en temps réel dans les eaux du Golfe du Mexique, mais aussi une palette d’actions supplémentaires à l’échelle stratégique, telles blocus des routes ennemies, attaques de ports ou débarquements sur les côtes.
A voir également le second trailer ci-après, plus long et montrant donc d’autres extraits du jeu.

CLAD in IRON: Gulf of Mexico 1864 Available at Steam Store
Alternate History Scenario. 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. 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».
