CLAD in IRON: Gulf of Mexico 1864 is a American Civil War alternate history naval game in which a turned-based wargame and a real-time strategy are combined.

Alternate history is a genre of fiction consisting of stories in which historical events occur differently. These stories contain "what if" scenarios at crucial points in history and present outcomes other than those in the historical record.

Historical Events:
By the summer of 1864, the city of Mobile remained the last major seaport of the Confederation in the Gulf of Mexico. After the defeat in the Red River campaign, Union troops were preparing for new battles. The American naval forces, under the command of the legendary rear admiral David Farragut, were replenished with ironclads. The fall of the Mobile would allow the United States to dominate the Gulf of Mexico. The French intervention in Mexico, the Spanish power over Cuba, and the financial interests of the British Empire in Central America would have been under American threat.

"What if" Scenario:
France, Britain and Spain have decided to deal a preemptive blow to the United States. The reason for the intervention of European powers was the defense of the Confederacy from the «aggression of the North».
