civil war.
Where did you read that the game was going to include ironclads? This is the first I've heard it. Same thing for a possible American Civil War (unless they were simply referring to the Revolution).

I believe that's correct, yes. Although CA has yet to officially confirm it, it does sound like you'll have the choice to either play as the Americans (should they emerge, which isn't guaranteed) or continue playing as Britiain.

CA has stated (on several occasions) that 1 turn = 6 months.
