Typical Russian,

Thanks for the detailed reply. I was a bit frustrated that the Confederacy starts with 2 Iron Clads already being built and able to launch within 7 turns, while the Union must wait a few turns to make enough funds to start their Iron Clads, which then take 18 turns to launch. It just seems a bit lopsided, since the North and South launched their respective Iron Clads within a month of each other, while in game, the difference is more than 18 months difference in time.....

Unless I am doing something totally wrong, I cannot build an Iron clad till at least 3 turns, and the lengthy build starts from there. Am I mistaken?

I am by no means pouncing on the game mechanics, just the historical accuracy seems a bit skewed.
