The Union Mississippi River Squadron was made up of purpose-built stern paddlewheel gunboats and side wheel rams.

The gunboats were all armed with powerful rifled cannon while their rams were only armed with their iron prows. The game portrays the battles of Island number 10, Plum Point Bend and the First Battle of Memphis.
