Wooden Ships and Iron Men
(1996 Avalon Hill)


Wooden Ships & Iron Men is a turn-based game that allows 
you to recreate naval battles from the 18th and 19th centuries, 
based upon the successful boardgame by Avalon Hill.

You may choose from a list of scenarios or play a campaign. 
Choosing the Scenario option allows to select a series of set 
battles from the American Revolutionary War, the French Revolutionary 
War, the Napoleonic Wars, or the War of 1812, where you will have 
the choice of commanding American, British, or French ships. In campaign 
mode, you take command of a selection of US ships during the War of 
1812, where your task is to sink as many British ships as possible 
during your career.

Ships are controlled with the mouse, enabling you to change course, 
load cannons, reassign your crew to stations, and grapple. The game 
allows for a computer opponent, a human opponent, or play by e-mail.

A Scenario Editor is also available, allowing you to create your own missions.
