Welcome to Dawn of Iron: The American Civil War at Sea, a game of naval combat, set during the American Civil War (1861-1865)!
The Civil War is known for its land battles, such as Shiloh, Vicksburg, Fort Sumter, and the Peninsular Campaign, however all of these examples were profoundly impacted by the presence of naval forces. While many think of the war's naval campaigns as a static blockade around the Confederacy, the truth is that it was actually just as desperate and bloody as other aspects of the conflict. Union and Confederate navies fought for dominance, from the coastal regions of Virginia and the muddy rivers of the Mississippi Valley to the far flung freezing waters of Alaska's Bering Strait.
Dawn of Iron puts you in command of a Civil War-era vessel, or a full squadron of them. You will have many of the ships available that fought in the conflict, so assemble your fleet, sortie out to engage the enemy, and send them to the bottom!
