Ironclads II game review by Molon Labe here at Subsim.

Straight up, the combat is fun. There are several different ship classes, each with different characteristics, and different optimal tactics. Although the AI does a rather good job playing to their own strengths, once you learn a ship well enough, you can exploit the enemy's weaknesses. It's very satisfying to use a little gunboat to sink a larger ship because it can't shake you off its tail, or maneuver a column of powerful sloops to �"cross the T�" against a smaller opponent, pounding it with multiple hits in just a few seconds.
