Acaratus looks to be the best out of the ones JH named above.

And thank you for the additional games spelk! I didn't think The Order 1886 was available for PC...

Keeping in  line with the 'Iron' theme... what about Iron Storm?

Valkyria Chronicles (though it has magic and was originally a console game)
Airship Dragoon

Iron Storm...holy moly there's a blast from the past. Valkyria Chronicles looks strangely intriguing...

...just patched up Arcanum and installed some hi-res graphics mods too.

Valkyria Chronicles is VERY "Japanese" in terms of the stereotypes you can expect.

Guys yell (and think about the greater questions in life), are gay, or both. Women are about as unnatural as you can imagine and, for a game where the only way to win is to shoot people in the face from a close distance, it's surprisingly anti-militaristic.

That's a real Japanese paradox: they like games where you shoot stuff, but don't like any militarism. The most militaristic characters are the bad guys (often with vaguely Latin names and Roman Imperial titles for unclear reasons).

The Iron Grip games are not bad, provided you don't expect them to meet the standards of premium FPS's.

I've had trouble getting the iron grip games to run on modern systems. Never tried on a win10 machine.

Come to think of it, ValkChron does count as very late Steampunk, circa WW1. (With some WW2 for flavor.)

ICEBREAKER THESIS CHRONOLOGY! -- Victor Suvorov's Stalin Grand Strategy theory, in lots and lots of chronological order...
Dawn of Armageddon -- narrative AAR for Dawn of War: Soulstorm: Ultimate Apocalypse
Survive Harder! -- Two season narrative AAR, an Amazon Blood Bowl career.
PanzOrc Corpz Generals -- Fantasy Wars narrative AAR, half a combined campaign.
Khazâd du-bekâr! -- narrative dwarf AAR for LotR BfME2 RotWK campaign.
RobO Q Campaign Generator -- archived classic CMBB/CMAK tool!

Anime makes me question everything I thought I knew.

Last time I played Warlord was on an XP machine several years ago, so I don't have any experience with getting it to run on a more recent version of Windows.
