A downloadable tabletop wargame


Mayhem on the Mississippi: A Clash of Iron: 1861-1865 Scenario” is an "early access" taste of naval combat in the age of steam. In this free packet, two to eight players take control of combat vessels from the American Civil War and fight intense engagements on the muddy Mississippi river. 

Gunboats and fearsome Ironclads trade powerful gun salvos and devastating ram attacks using Walking Mule Studio's intuitive "Dynamic Damage" system, wherein vessels are more than simple models with a set amount of hit points -- In this game a whole number of things can happen as a warship takes damage -- from rudder malfunctions to blazing deck fires!

Aided by a quick and fluid initiative flow with alternating activation, this game is designed from the ground-up to be engaging and rewarding to casual wargamers and American Civil War enthusiasts alike. Grab a tape measure and some six sided dice and prepare for combat!

In this packet you will find:

  • The "Quick Rules" document - A resource outlining all of the rules of the game including weapon profiles, collision tables, as well as the damage tables.
  • Scenario: Mayhem on the Mississippi - A simple and brutal scenario for a meeting engagement between a Union and Confederate flotilla.
  • Vessel Spec Sheets - A special feature unique to the Clash of Iron: 1861-1865; pages that show, using finely detailed illustrations, all of the core rules for using the corresponding vessels in game. (We recommend printing multiple of these!)
  • Cutouts: A collection of scale drawings of the vessels as well as tokens for in game use. Simply print and cut out these illustrations, grab a tape measure and some dice and jump right into the game without miniatures!

Your fleet awaits your orders! Will you lead yours to victory or perish in a blaze of glory?
