The main forces of the U.S. Asiatic Squadron, including the mighty cruiser USS Olympia, are forced to guard the Manila Bay from German warships."What if" Scenario:The shocking outcome of the Battle of Manila Bay spurred the Spanish government to organize a relief expedition.

I like the history period of this game, now naval battles are very intense, and you can feel the difference between old ships like frigates (even with modern artillery) and modern cruisers, the real terror of seas.Other reviwers told a lot about supply system developers added to game, it works cool, I like that too. This game worth to play if you like other games in this series.. Well, what can I say? I spent the day off playing this game. Hmm ... This is strange! I did not expect and did not plan this. I thought I'd buy and play a little.Of course, this is not Civilization! But the "one more turn" syndrome is also present here. The game somehow unnoticed me. Ooooh, I have no supply at all. Wow, this bloody Spanish cruiser has sunk my transport again! Damn, I remember "Maine"! I came to my senses when, through stupidity, I lost all the large warships. No sir, I learned the lesson! I will no longer bring my squadron to the harbor with mines and coastal batteries.I drank coffee, gathered strength and even thought. How long have I ever thought about how to win the game? In any case, the second time my business went much better. I'm not Commander Dewey, but the Spaniards have no chance! I will free the Philippine Islands of them!. I've only had this game for a few days, but I just love this! The graphics are stunning, and very smooth. The devs have done an amazing job. Its a sad thing for this wonderful time period to be ignored by many for too long, but no more. Great work, and thanks!. If you like naval combat, especially naval combat in the Victorian Era, and obscure now-forgotten wars, this game is for you.. Inside this game, more is hidden than it seems. I will not hide that I like this game. I like how the series of games is being improved step by step. In the last game, developers basically improved the turn-based strategy. From this (the supply system) the game became deeper and more interesting. I see that the developers have taken care of the newcomers. I hope there will be more training videos.I also would like the ship to be divided into separate parts: the hull of the ship, the steam engine and boilers, the shell of the shells. Now randomness plays an insignificant role in the battle. I would like to see the critical damage from the "golden shell". Maybe other accidents, like weather.Separately, I want to thank you for the wonderful models of ships. These are the most realistic ships possible. Yes, "World of Warships" I'm looking at you.Can I recommend this game to everyone? No I can not! Can I say that this is the "Total War" on the sea? No I can not. "Total War" is an arcade strategy for a mass player. This game is a mix of the old-fashioned simulator of naval battles and a wargame with unique rules.. I want to say that one little change could change a lot in gameplay, supply did it. If you playing Caroline Island, first thing you do - you gather all fleet at one point and try to destroy the enemy, I did the same here playing USA and see that I am going to loose support points on next turn, it's okay if I succeed but if I loose some ships it'll be the problem ... this changes how you planing your opretaions .... finally with small fleet and very expensive big ship you thinking how much you can affort attack or blockade, this is much interesting than just simple struggle.Also modern ships fights much more intense, even you have only 2 cruisers (not even battleships) but one of them can destroy 2-4 gunboats or frigates, take a lot of damage and with fire and water in hull safely flee the fight.You should try it! Of course only if you already been playing Ironclads or ready to read manual to understand simple but unique naval strategy rules.. If you compare this game with the more famous then the first thing that comes to mind is the game "Total War: Shogun 2 - Fall of the Samurai". In both games there are two game modes - a turn-based strategy and a battle sim in real time. In contrast to the "Fall of the Samurai" the main characters of this game are warships. We can say that this is a light naval version of the games of the "Total War" series. Not everyone wants to understand that both games are difficult for mastering a beginner. It's more difficult to understand this game, but you can do it already playing.These games differ in the level of realism and historicity of units and battles. In my opinion, the series "Total War" was never a historical wargame. But in "Philippines 1898' everything is serious and realistic, but not so beautiful and fast. Sometimes one only has to observe the course of the naval battle without interfering with it.If you are not afraid to spend several evenings to understand the rules of the game, you will get a unique chance to play in a very realistic simulator of sea battles. As the "Distant Guns", if you understand what I mean.... I like the history period of this game, now naval battles are very intense, and you can feel the difference between old ships like frigates (even with modern artillery) and modern cruisers, the real terror of seas.Other reviwers told a lot about supply system developers added to game, it works cool, I like that too. This game worth to play if you like other games in this series. Bug fixed: Fixed a bug that prevented the launch of the program (game) or the termination of the program in simulator mode.. Clad in Iron: Carolines 1885 Dev Diary #2 - White, grey, black: We are very strange guys and we are interested in strange questions. For example, we want to know in what color scheme the Spanish and German warships were painted in Oceania in 1885 during the Carline Islands crisis. There are three possible answers to this question. Usually for service in hot climates, the ships of the great powers were painted in a white and yellow version, when the ship's hull was white, and all other parts were yellow-orange. The second option could be the so-called combat paint, when the hull or the whole ship was painted in gray or gray-blue color. This method has been known since the time of the American Civil War. In 1885, France was at war with China and part of the French ships were painted gray-blue. The third color of the ship was the usual black and yellow Victorian type with a black hull and yellow masts and superstructures. We know for sure that the Spanish squadron assembled in Europe for the campaign on the Pacific Ocean was painted in the Victorian scheme. This was described in Spanish newspapers in 1885, but we did not find such information about the German ships. But in the photographs of 1889 from Samoa, where only the hurricane prevented the battle of the German and American colonial squadrons, we see that the German ships have black hulls and yellow-orange masts and superstructures.Facebook page linkhttps://www.facebook.com/totemgamesfcbk/posts/2023808651072082Steam forum thread linkhttps://steamcommunity.com/app/712970/discussions/0/1848072002752839707/. Clad in Iron: Carolines 1885 Dev Diary #1 - Spanish warships: The construction of a large series of steam frigates and broadside ironclads in the 1860s put Spain among the foremost naval powers, but in subsequent years economic problems and political instability led to a complete loss of occupied positions. After a decade, the Spanish fleet is very outdated and could no longer protect the national interests of the sea. The situation prevailing in Spain by the early 1880s was very difficult. The country has just ended devastating civil wars and revolutions. Therefore, in 1880, the Spanish government took the first steps to restore the former sea power. The problem was that there was very little money in the treasury, and the Spanish shipbuilding industry was very outdated. For this reason, by 1883 a series of small 250t colonial gunboats was built in Spain (1st right). These first iron ships for the renewed fleet were not very successful. After the construction of a series of larger 550t iron gunboats in 1885 (2nd right), it became clear that the Spaniards were not able to design modern warships. Therefore, in the UK were bought small 1000t iron cruisers (3rd right). When Germany attempted to annex the Caroline Islands in 1885, Spain could send only 4600t wooden frigates (4th right) and 5700t wooden ironclads (5th right) to Oceania as capital ships.link to the image of the Spanish shipshttps://ibb.co/NVfd6FnFacebook page linkhttps://www.facebook.com/totemgamesfcbk/posts/2011448442308103Steam forum thread linkhttps://steamcommunity.com/app/712970/discussions/0/1836811737992781454/.
