This guide lists all achievements in alphabetical order. You might find it easier to get the achievements in a logical order by referencing this guide as you play, or by playing through and then returning to this guide to find any achievements you have missed. Use whichever method suits your play style best.

Each achivement has a description of where the achievement is found, how to get the achievement and what other side effects there will be. For achievements which take place in the main game, the suggested decks and strategies are supplied. For achievements which require reaching a target over many levels, the best methods are provided to reach the targets quickly. For other achievements, the precise location and requirements for the achievement are listed.

Ironclad Tactics is an awesome robot brawling card-tactics game from Zachtronics. Released in September 2013, this game was a highlight of the civil war themed robot based card battling tactics genre for September of that year. Compared, often favourably, to other similar games, it is likely that this game will become a mainstay for fans of Ironclad Tactics.

The game features at least ten levels with probably about a hundred cards or something. Each of the levels I've seen has a comic book animation at the start and end which are quite enjoyable. There is also a multiplayer mode but my friend Colin isn't answering his phone so I haven't tried it.

I got my first achievement in 1996 and since then have gone from strength to strength. I have 100% achievements in most of my steam games and my XBox Live gamerscore is nearly 4000. I could be considered an expert in getting achievements, a world-class achievement-earner. I have decided to write this guide to help the lesser player reach the great heights from which I view the world.

I have known the author of this guide for many years. When he called me up in the middle of the night to tell me he was writing this guide, I broke out in a cold sweat. This was everything I'd hoped and dreamed for. I immediately turned my phone off and went back to sleep. The next morning, my breakfast tasted like no other and I felt alive once more.

When this guide has come to fruition and the final product is available, both online through the Steam service and printed in hardback through your local retailer, I look forward to turning page after crusty page as I sit cold and alone in my bathroom. I expect to read this cover to cover no less than three times, each read being more marginally more enjoyable than the last.

You were somewhere in my house when I was writing this.

Here is the complete list of achievements with explanations on how they are activated and the best way to activate them. This list is presented in alphabetical order, in groups, just like encyclopedias used to be before someone invented Wikipedia.

The pen falls out of my hand and I stare at the page. The guide is complete. I quick-dial Colin, but he's not answering his phone. It is 4am, after all. I feel empty, like I'm about to be punched in the guts by reality. Can it be true? Is this tome really complete? I edge over to the window and push the blinds apart slightly with my fingers. In a few hours the sun will be rising, a new day. The Earth will be the same planet it always was, but the world, no, my world, will be forever changed.
