Clad in Iron: Philippines 1898 is a naval game set in an alternate version of the Spanish-American War. It combines turn-based strategic play with real-time tactical battles. You manage fleets and armies, pursue control of the seas and command ships in battle.

Alternate history

After the U.S. Asiatic Squadron defeats a Spanish squadron at Manila Bay, eight German warships enter the bay. Germany expects the Americans to lose and the Filipino revolutionaries to capture Manila, leaving the Philippines open to German control. The U.S. Asiatic Squadron’s main force, including the cruiser USS Olympia, must guard Manila Bay against the German warships.

In this alternate scenario, the surprising result of the battle prompts Spain to organize a relief expedition. Spanish warships, troopships and transports arrive at Iloilo City, setting up a new battle between a rising and a declining empire.

Strategic command

In the turn-based strategic mode, you manage your fleet and army, hunt enemy fleets, shelter weaker squadrons in protected ports while waiting for reinforcements, blockade trade routes, launch amphibious assaults and conduct harbor sieges. These actions form a struggle for control of the seas.

Tactical battles

In real-time tactical mode, you set up battles and squadron groups, choosing their formations and managing them in combat. Ships have realistic models and characteristics, with advanced ballistics and weapon models. You select ships, build crew experience and send squadrons out to sea, commanding battle formations in tactical naval simulations.
