Description
Iron and Fire is a moderate level complexity game covering the battles fought by the Peruvian Ironclad Huáscar during the 1879 War of the Pacific against Chile. It outclassed everything it met but there was only one (think of the SF classic, Ogre, but on the waters this time).
The Peruvian navy owns an ironclad monitor that outclasses everything else afloat in South America. But can it win a war by itself? Look at the 1879 "War of the Pacific", between Chile and Peru, which displayed naval technology one notch above the American Civil War.
