Civil War Ironclad: CSS Virginia

That's not really true. Comparably, the Monitor did a lot more damage to the Virginia than vise versa. The Confederate ship had to go back to Norfolk for a good deal of repairs.
In the end a draw is a draw ;)
Me thinks with an Ironclad for each side we have a cool package (I'd advise to use Wyrmshadow's German-built Chinese Ironclad, Jun Yuan to play the role of the larger vessels of the conflict)

Not to mention the Union gunboats on the Mississippi some of which were ironclads. Man, I'd love to have those for my scenario.

hehe, the tinclads. :lol: :) We also need the Alabama, since that was famous. I think there were two Alabamas. One was a Ram and the other was a Pirate.

The "Pook Turtles" as they were called... :)

Yep. On my map for my Civil War scenario, the Mississippi is navigable.


Sweet. IS the Misisioppi the Only One you can navigate? What about the Ohio? And the Patomic? And all thoes other rivers? X.x!
 
The Ohio is navigable to a point, but the Potomac is not. The Rio Grande, St. Lawrence, and the Amazon Rivers are also navigable. (The map encompasses most of the Americas).
 
The Rio Grande is not navigable by anything larger than a canoe.

:hmm:

Well... these steamboats would be very surprised to hear that...

EDIT: Though I will admit that a very large portion of the river is not navigable, the portion from Laredo to the mouth of the river is indeed navigable.
 
Maybe a long time ago but now it's almost down to nothing at the mouth.

Yeah. I think it's very different from how it used to be, but the western portion has never been navigable though... at least not since humans have been there.
 
I think up to Laredo is a good approximation of what it once was.
 
Yay for Rivers! Yay for Ironclads!

Really looking foreward to Wyrms's Virginia and Dom's One Nation, Divisable Scenario.
