About 20 years ago, a bunch of like-minded people got together to make a naval wargame. That was us. We didn't know how to do anything, but we stubbornly pursued our dream. Our first Ironclads games were frankly bad, and the ones that followed lacked budget.

The Totem Games guys had never tried to make a commercially successful game in a commercially successful setting (hello, WW II in the Pacific).

Surprisingly, there are still some crazy people out there like us (hello, we love you). Their support and advice has kept us going.

Now we've made every possible mistake in computer game development, and in such an easy and convenient way we got the skills and knowledge to make a really good game. That game is Ironclads 3.

We're pressed for time, we're pressed for money for a big project, but we've made a reasonable plan and we're taking action.

And now, in our best tradition, we've decided to put everything we're doing in one place.

Read this to find out what Totem Games has to offer you:
you can download our Clad in Iron games free of charge (including 2 new scenarios),
watch unique videos about the history of the Steam Navy,
read unique content (as e-books) about the history of the Steam Navy,
news about the next generation naval wargame IRONCLADS 3.

Get your copy now (or whenever you like).

Wow. The question remains which one?  :doh:

Or his deserts are small,
Who dares not put it to the touch
To win or lose it all."  - James Graham 1st Marquis of Montrose

One after the other in chronological order.

From the huge 15-inch Dahlgren guns with the 7-minute shot to the QF 5-inch rapid guns that fired a shell every 20 seconds.

From the clumsy 6-knot broadside ironclads to the magnificent 26-knot destroyers.

Try, and I'll try to help if necessary.

Does downloading the games require you pay $5.50 a month to Boosty for a minimum of 3 months? Have I misinterpreted this?

Per the link:

SUBSCRIPTION LEVELS
WELCOME ABOARD
$ 5,5 per month
* Sincere thanks to the developers of unique historical wargames.
* Paying a subscription for at least 3 months - a copy of the game IRONCLADS 3: Cherbourg upon release.
* Unique content about the Age of Steam Navy.

No, we don't. You can download any game for free.

However, if you want to support the development of our new unfinished game, you can subscribe.

Very cool of Totem Games.  Thanks.  :notworthy:

FYI:  I do want to point out a slight discrepancy on your Boosty link.  The following two statements on the site kinda contradict each other:

All paid subscribers who pay for more than 3 months will receive a free copy of Ironclads 3: Cherbourg 1864.  (requires buying 4 or more months)

* Paying a subscription for at least 3 months - a copy of the game IRONCLADS 3: Cherbourg upon release.  (requires buying 3 or more months)

The game Ironclads 3: Cherbourg 1864 is not available yet. We are still working on it. This game is not part of the Clad in Iron series. We have only given free access to the games we already have. Therefore, a subscription is a way to support the development of a new game and get a copy of the new, not yet finished game (after it is released).
