Iron & Oak Play Book
Scenario Format
Iron & Oak includes thirteen historical scenarios and one hypothetical scenario. Three (3a, 3b and 3c) may be combined into a mini
campaign, and two (9a and 9b) are played as a campaign. There is also an outline for constructing a ‘Design Your Own’ scenario.
All of the scenarios have a similar format and are organized into the following sections; Reference Scenario #10: Trent’s Reach – January 1865.
Scenario Name and Date
u Confederate Forces (12)
Union Forces (10)
• The (10) indicates the number of Action Cards the Union
player is dealt.
• The six ships and forts the Union player commands are identified by letters “A” through “F”.
• Place an Elite Grade marker on USS Onondaga and a Crack
Grade marker on USS Massasoit.
• The u indicates that the Confederate side plays first.
• The (12) indicates the number of Action Cards the Confederate player is dealt.
• The seven ships the Confederate player commands are identified by letters “T” through “Z”.
• Place Crack Grade markers on CSS Fredericksburg, CSS Richmond, CSS Virginia II and CSS Drewry.
Play Area Layout
• Indicates sides and banks along the map edges (if any), shoal depths, the starting position of each unit (on or off the play area),
torpedo-mines or obstructions (if any), and any other reference markers.
• Ships start as indicated, on or off of the play area. Those starting off the play area must Maneuver to enter the play area [5.0].
• Note that Forts are typically positioned off the play area, but are considered to occupy the adjacent Grid Box for range purposes.

Special Rules
• Rules unique to just this scenario.
• Wind is always Normal unless a Special Rule indicates it is Fresh.
Victory Conditions
• The condition(s) either side must meet to win the battle. If neither side meets the conditions, or if both sides meet the conditions,
the battle is a draw. Some scenarios are played until one side achieves victory, for example Scenario #8.
• A ship is considered to have taken ‘Light Damage’ once it has suffered sufficient Hits to use the second line of its Maneuver Chart.
It has taken ‘Heavy Damage’ if it has suffered sufficient Hits to use the bottom (third) line of its Maneuver Chart.
Optional Rules
• While not the case with Scenario #10, some scenarios have optional rules that may be employed if all players agree, e.g., Scenario #2.

Special Rules
• Place a Grounded marker on Minnesota. She may not be given a Refloat Order.
• Zouave Maneuvers to enter on any turn or may remain out of the action for the entire battle.
Victory Conditions
• Union: Prevent the Confederate victory conditions.
• Confederate: Sink Minnesota by Turn 30 while Virginia suffers less than Heavy Damage
Optional Rules
• Minnesota may be given a Refloat Order (exception to the Special Rule above) to break free, but she suffers an automatic and
permanent Engine-Stopped critical hit (she does not suffer any associated hits) and must still perform the Engine-Damaged check
[4.3.1] to determine if there is a “WL” Critical Hit. She may be towed to exit by Zouave, but may not drift off the map.
• During action the previous day against the Union ships Congress and Cumberland, Virginia suffered damage to both her smokestack and ram:
• At the start of the game, place a Smokestack critical hit marker on Virginia. She does not start the game with any associated hits, and;
• Virginia may still initiate ram attacks, but if successful must apply a –2 DRM to the d10d6d4 ram damage roll.
• Planning to engage only the unarmored Minnesota, Virginia carried just explosive shell instead of solid shot for her guns. Virginia
must apply a –2 DRM to gunnery die rolls against USS Monitor.
• Fearing her new guns would burst under a full-charge load; Monitor’s 11" Dahlgrens were only using two-thirds of the designed
powder load. Monitor must apply a –2 DRM to her gunnery die rolls.
Historical Notes
Surprised by the presence of Monitor, Virginia was unable to close on the beleaguered Minnesota. Instead forced to engage this neverbefore seen type of Union ship, Virginia was unable to reach her objective as Monitor battled her to a standoff. As the tide ran out, the
Confederate ships were forced to withdraw. Union Victory.

both the Confederate batteries and Arkansas, Essex did manage to damage Arkansas while suffering only minor damage herself. She then
continued down river while Queen of the West attempted to ram the Confederate ship. She made contact with Arkansas, but inflicted little
damage while suffering numerous hits for her efforts before retiring safely down river. Confederate Victory.

Historical Notes
Arkansas moved down river to engage the Union forces. There she met her old adversary Essex. After a brief exchange, the Confederate
ship lost all power and drifted to shore where she ran aground. Not wanting his ship to fall into Union hands, her captain ordered her
destroyed. Arkansas was set afire and later exploded. Union Victory.

Special Rules
• Place Fort Morgan as indicated. Only Gunnery Sections B & C are active.
• Set up the Union ships first, one per Grid Box as indicated in any configuration desired.
• Set up Florida and the two False Contacts second (use any other two Confederate ship counters), facedown, one per Grid Box as
indicated in any configuration desired.
• Night combat conditions apply [6.2.4].
• Union ships are always identified (face up), while Florida and the False Contacts start hidden (face down). To identify Florida or
a False Contact, each Union ship may search for one hidden Confederate target in the same Grid Box at the end of its Movement Segment. After designating the target, roll one d10:
1-6
Search unsuccessful
7-10 Target identified
Once identified, Florida remains face up for the remainder of the scenario; False Contacts are permanently removed from play.
• Only an identified ship may be the target of fire, crossing the ‘T’ or ramming attacks. Immediately identify Florida if she fires
her guns or attempts to ram.
• Ships may not be given Maneuver 2 Orders. False Contacts use the same maneuver rating as Florida. Attempting to enter a Grid
Box with any hidden ship is an Opposed Maneuver.
• Only Union ships are subject to Torpedo-Mine Hazards [5.4.3].
Victory Conditions
• Union: Sink or strike Florida.
• Confederate: Exit Florida under power by Turn 20 with less than Heavy Damage.
Historical Notes
Florida successfully eluded the Union blockaders of Mobile making the run out to sea. Confederate Victory.

DRM to gunnery die rolls.
Historical Notes
The two ships jockeyed for the best firing position for nearly an hour, all the while exchanging fire. However, Kearsarge’s measured gunnery from her two 11” Dahlgrens took its toll on the Confederate ship, finally forcing Alabama to strike her colors. The raider later sank
due to her damage. Union Victory.

Iron & Oak Play Book
Special Rules
• Play Scenario 9a as a mini-campaign with Scenario 9b.
• Union ships numbered ‘1’ and ‘2’ are grappled together and, therefore, must move in concert. They utilize the ‘1’ ship for movement
determination but must apply a –1 DRM to all Maneuver rolls. They must stay grappled together, except:
• They automatically release the grapple if one or the other sinks or must retire.
• If either ship suffers Engine-Damaged or Engine-Stopped Critical Hits, or suffers Heavy Damage, they may automatically release
the grapple if so desired.
If a ‘1’ numbered ship suffers any movement penalties through critical hits or damage, the grappled ‘2’ numbered ship may assume
movement determination but must apply a –2 DRM to all Maneuver rolls.
• All Union ships must enter in the order listed on the map, with only a single ship or grappled ships entering per Grid Box. Therefore,
ships (A), (E1) and (E2) enter first.
• Union ships do not roll for entry; it’s automatic. Union ships must roll to exit normally.
• Each Union ship must attempt to move forward one Grid Box per turn if possible. As one ship moves forward, the next ship(s) in
line must attempt to move forward. If any ship fails to move, the trailing ships must wait.
• Union ships may not be given Maneuver 2 Orders and must remain in the same horizontal Band throughout the game.
• If any Union ship is fouled, suffers Engine-Damaged or Engine-Stopped Critical Hits, or Heavy Damage, the next ship(s) in line may
enter the Grid Box(es) to pass the stopped or damaged ships. In this case, there may be up to four Union ships in a Grid Box.
• If a Union ship must retire due to crew casualties, it may move through other ships in a Grid Box in excess of the four-ship limit.
• The Fort Morgan Batteries (T and U) are on the boundary between two Grid Boxes. These forts are considered to occupy both
adjacent Grid Boxes when determining firing ranges.
• Conduct fire by and against the Fort Morgan Water Battery (T) and Fort Gaines (V) at ranges shown on the layout. Ranges to and
from the Fort Morgan Fortress Battery (U) are normal.
• As long as the Union ships remain grappled, the Fort Morgan Fortress and Water Batteries may not fire at the ‘2’ numbered ships
and vice-versa. Fort Gaines may attempt to fire at grappled ‘1’ numbered ships, but hit locations “1”, “4” and “5” are instead applied
against the grappled ‘2’ numbered ship at the resulting hit location.
• Union ships grappled together do not suffer the –2 DRM on the gunnery modifier for being grappled.
• Do not reshuffle the Action Card deck before dealing the cards for scenario 9b. Reshuffle the Action Card deck, including any cards
set aside from scenario 9a, after dealing the cards for scenario 9b.
• Union ships that fail to exit by the end of Turn 30 do not participate in Scenario 9b.
Victory Conditions
Not applicable. Note: Union ships sunk or retired in Scenario 9a do not count towards the victory conditions of Scenario 9b.
Historical Notes
The Union Force pushed their way past the guns of Fort Morgan and Fort Gaines. Tecumseh struck a submerged mine and quickly sank.
It was at this point that Union Admiral David Farragut is credited for uttering his famous line, “Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead.”

Special Rules
• Scenario 9b is played as a mini-campaign with Scenario 9a. They are a good setting for four players. Scenario 9b starts the moment
the first Union ship enters from Scenario 9a.
• The scenario starts immediately upon the entry of the first Union ship. Since the Union ships must roll to exit the scenario 9a
map, they are not required to Maneuver to enter the 9b map; it’s automatic. They enter along the same Band as they exited.
• When the scenarios are played consecutively, the Union player must track the exit turn for each Union ship. The first exit turn
becomes turn 1 of Scenario 9b. The Union ships then enter the Scenario 9b map in the exit turn order from Scenario 9a.
• The Union side may transfer any number of action cards from the Scenario 9a hand to start the Scenario 9b hand. Draw up the
Scenario 9b hand as needed to the 10-card total.
• Union ships numbered ‘1’ and ‘2’ may automatically release their grapple upon entry or at the start of any turn. If the Union ships
remain grappled, ships numbered ‘1’ and ‘2’ automatically release the grapple if one or the other sinks, strikes, suffers an EngineStopped Critical Hit, suffers Heavy Damage, or must retire. They do suffer the –2 DRM gunnery modifier for being grappled.
Victory Conditions
• Union: Sink, strike or force all four Confederate ships to retire by Turn 25.
• Confederate: Sink, strike or force at least four Union ships to retire by Turn 25 (or all Union ships if less than four exited from the
Scenario 9a map).
Historical Notes
The Confederate force was quickly dispersed by the Union’s weight of numbers. Selma was captured by Metacomet. Gaines was battered
and run aground, where she was destroyed by her own crew. Morgan fled to the protection of the guns of Fort Morgan. Tennessee bravely
fought on but was overwhelmed by the Union Force. With several gun ports jammed, her smokestack holed, and her steering gear shot
away, she was no longer able to answer the call. The arrival of the Union monitors Manhattan and Chickasaw sealed her fate, and Tennessee
struck her colors. Union Victory.

Campaign Game Scenarios
Action Cards
Shuffle the Attacker’s Day/Night determination cards back into
the deck. Then, each side draws Action cards according to the
number of ships it has committed to battle, including any ships
added through the play of Out of the Mist cards, but excluding
False Contacts:
There are five possible scenarios: Engagement, Passage, Escort,
Defend, and Blockade. Engagement scenarios are head-to-head
battles. Passage, Escort, and Defend scenarios may have either the
Union or Confederate sides as the Attacker and Defender. In all
Blockade scenarios, the Confederate side is the Attacker as a single
ship attempts to slip through a blockading Union force.
For every battle in the Campaign Game, players use the procedure
here to determine the scenario, forces, and conditions for that battle.
Use the instructions for the specific scenario type on the following
pages when setting up each battle.
First Player
The Attacker always plays first.

Blockade
Depending on the scenario, players then determine further conditions under which the battle will be fought:
• Attacker/Defender and Force Size
• Day or Night
• Battle End and Victory Conditions
Day or Night
Other than for blockade runners, night battles were very rare due to
the limited visibility and the impact that had on navigating the challenging rivers and shoals. To simulate this small chance, the Attacker
draws two Action cards and reveals one. The scenario instructions
and Day/Night symbol (if any) determine if night conditions apply. If so, players should note that it is a nighttime scenario on their
Campaign Logs, and play according to night rules [8.6].

Make certain to deal the Action cards last before starting the
battle. In that way, no advantage is gained by knowing what cards
are available for play.

Engagement Battle
Force Size
Roll one d10. On a result of:
1:
Each side may commit ship(s) totaling up to 500
Victory points or less
2-3: Each side may commit ship(s) totaling up to 700
Victory points or less
4-5: Each side may commit ship(s) totaling up to 800
Victory points or less
6-7: Each side may commit ship(s) totaling up to 900
Victory points or less
8-9: Each side may commit ship(s) totaling up to 1,000
Victory points or less
10: Each side may commit ship(s) totaling up to 1,200
Victory points or less
Attacker/Defender
After commitment, the side with the larger force based on Victory
Points is the Attacker. If the Victory Points are equal, roll one
d10 to determine which side is the Attacker: odd = Confederate,
even = Union.
Day/Night
The Attacker selects and reveals one of the two Action cards. If it
has a Day/Night symbol, the battle occurs at night [8.6].
Battle End
Battle length is a minimum of 8 turns. At that point, both sides
may voluntarily retire from the battle as desired. There is no turn
limit. The battle immediately ends if one side is eliminated or exits
the gameboard.
Victory Conditions
The side scoring the greatest number of Victory Points wins. If
the Victory Point totals are tied, the side with the greatest number
of ships scoring points for the opponent (captured, scuttled, sunk,
forced to retire, or damaged [3.5.1]) loses. If no Victory Points
are scored, the side occupying the gameboard at the conclusion
of the scenario wins.
Map
Use Map A, B or C. Select randomly or by mutual consent.
Current
• For the current speed, roll one d10 and apply the indicated
result from the Current Table. If “Slack,” skip the next step.
• For the current direction, roll one d6 and consult the Current
diagram on the chosen Campaign Map.
Shoals
• Start with Band 1 or Band 5. Roll one d10 and apply the
indicated result from the Depth Table to all five grid boxes.
Where bounded by a riverbank, apply a +2 DRM for Bands
1 and/or 5.
• Continue with the next four Bands in order. Roll one d10 for
each Band and apply the results to all five grid boxes. Do not
increase or decrease the shoal depth by more than “2” from
the previous Band.
Wind
Roll one d10 and apply the indicated result from the Wind Table.
Torpedo-Mines
None.
Obstructions
None.
Deploy Ships
• Determine if played Out of the Mist cards change which
side is the Attacker. This will affect setup order and which is
the first side.
• The Attacker places one ship face up in any of the Band’s five
vertical grid boxes adjacent to their side—Union Band A,
Confederate Band E.
• The Defender then places one ship face up in any of the Band’s
five vertical grid boxes adjacent to their side.
• The two sides alternately place one ship at a time until all
ships are set up. They may set up in any and all of the five grid
boxes. A grid box may contain multiple ships.
• If the battle is at night, place all ships face down [8.6.1].

Iron & Oak Play Book
Passage Battle
Force Size
Each side may commit any number of ships totaling any number
of Victory Points.
Attacker/Defender
After commitment, the side with more ships numerically is the
Attacker. If a tie, the side with more committed Victory Points is
the Attacker. If that is also a tie, roll one d10 to determine which
side is the Attacker: odd = Confederate, even = Union. Note that
the Attacker could actually be the side with fewer Victory Points
committed.
Day/Night
The Attacker selects and reveals one of the two Action cards. If it
has a Day/Night symbol, the battle occurs at night [8.6].
Battle End
Ships may not exit or voluntary retire from the gameboard until
Turn 8. At that point, both sides may exit or voluntarily retire from
the battle as desired. There is no turn limit. The scenario immediately ends if the required number of the Attacker’s ships exits or
when one side is eliminated or exits the gameboard.
Victory Conditions
The Attacker must exit off the opposing side of the gameboard a
number of ships under power, with less than Heavy Damage [3.5.1],
equal to the numerical advantage over the defending side. If the
number of ships is equal, the Attacker must exit a single ship with
less than Heavy Damage.
Example: If the Union side commits 5 ships and the Confederate
side commits 3 ships, the Union side must exit 2 ships. If both sides
commit 4 ships, but the Confederate ships total more Victory Points,
the Confederate side must exit 1 ship.
Otherwise, the Defender wins.
Map
Use Map A, B or C. Select randomly or by mutual consent.
Current
• For the current speed, roll one d10 and apply the indicated
result from the Current Table. If “Slack,” skip the next step.
• For the current direction, roll one d6 and consult the Current
diagram on the chosen Campaign Map.
Shoals
• Start with Band 1 or Band 5. Roll one d10 and apply the
indicated result from the Depth Table to all five grid boxes.
Where bounded by a riverbank, apply a +2 DRM for Bands
1 and/or 5.
• Continue with the next four Bands in order. Roll one d10 for
each Band and apply the results to all five grid boxes. Do not
increase or decrease the shoal depth by more than “2” from
the previous Band.
Wind
Roll one d10 and apply the indicated result from the Wind Table.
Torpedo-Mines
If any grid boxes have a shoal depth of “1” or “2”, the Defender
rolls one d10 [apply a –1 DRM if the Union side is the Defender
to reflect the Union’s more limited use of Torpedo-Mines]. On a
result of:
1-8: No Torpedo-Mines are present.
9-10: Torpedo-Mines may be present. The Defender may
place up to two markers in any two adjacent grid boxes
(not diagonal) with a shoal depth of “1” or “2”.
• Optional: During night battles, the Torpedo-Mines may be
hidden. The Defender must plot the locations of the mines,
before the Attacker places any ships, by noting the positions
on the Campaign Log by cross-gridding the horizontal and
vertical Bands. For example, Bands B/4 and B/5.
Obstructions:
The Defender rolls one d10. On a result of:
1-7: No Obstructions are present.
8-10: Obstructions may be present. Roll a second d10. On a
result of:
1-6: Obstructions are present.
7-10: Heavy Obstructions are present.
If Obstructions or Heavy Obstructions are present, the Defender
may place up to two markers of the appropriate type in any two
adjacent grid boxes (not diagonal). If both Torpedo-Mines and Obstructions are present, they may be placed in the same Grid Boxes.
Deploy Ships
• The Defender places all ships face up, Union in any or all of
Band A’s five vertical grid boxes, Confederate in Band E. A
grid box may contain multiple ships.
• The Attacker then places all ships face up off the gameboard
adjacent to any and all of the five vertical grid boxes on their
side of the gameboard. The Attacker Maneuvers to enter
starting on Turn 1.
• If the battle is at night, place all ships face down [8.6.1].

Attacker rolls one d10 and adds:
1-7: One Steamer.
8-10: One Barge.
Battle End
Ships may not exit or voluntary retire from the gameboard until
Turn 8. At that point, both sides may exit or voluntarily retire
from the battle as desired. There is no turn limit. The scenario
immediately ends if the Steamer or Barge exits or when one side
is eliminated or completely exits the gameboard. In the case of
the barge, the condition of the towing ship is of no consequence.
Victory Conditions
The Attacker must exit the Steamer under power or the Barge off
the opposing side of the gameboard with less than Heavy Damage
[3.5.1]. Otherwise, the Defender wins.

boxes, Confederate in Band D and/or Band E. A grid box
may contain multiple ships.
• The Attacker then places all ships face up in any of the Band
A’s or Band E’s five vertical grid boxes on their side of the
gameboard. A grid box may contain multiple ships. If desired,
any ship, including the Steamer or the Barge and its towing
ship, may start off map adjacent to any of its side’s Grid Boxes.
The off-map ships may Maneuver for entry on any turn.
• If the battle is at night, place all ships face down [8.6.1].

Defend Battle
Attacker/Defender
Roll one d10 to determine which side is the Attacker: odd = Confederate, even = Union.
Day/Night
The Attacker selects and reveals one of the two Action cards. If it
has a Day/Night symbol, the battle occurs at night [8.6].
Force Size
After Day/Night determination, the Defender randomly picks one
uncommitted ship, which will be designated the ‘target’ ship. If
no uncommitted ships are available, the Defender may designate
either the Steamer or Barge as the ‘target’ ship.
• Place the available ship counters in an opaque cup and draw
and reveal one.
• The ‘target’ ship is unpowered; its engine may not be repaired
during the scenario; mark it with an Engine-Stopped Critical
Hit marker. However, it may be towed off the friendly side
of the gameboard to safety. Depending on the current, it may
also safely drift off the friendly side of the gameboard or the
open water edges on Maps B and C, but not before Turn 8. If
it drifts off the opposing side of the mapboard, it is captured.
Each side may then commit any number of additional ships totaling
any number of Victory Points.
Battle End
Ships may not exit or voluntary retire from the gameboard until
Turn 8. At that point, both sides may exit or voluntarily retire from
the battle as desired. There is no turn limit. The battle immediately
ends if the ‘target’ ship is sunk, scuttled, or captured, or when one
side is eliminated or completely exits the gameboard.

Iron & Oak Play Book
Nine months after being scuttled by Federal forces in the Gosport Navy Yard near Norfolk, Virginia, the charred hull of the former USS Merrimac
has been re-shaped and re-christened as the all-new casemate ironclad CSS Virginia.
Brief Notes
The American Civil War introduced the world to a new
form of naval warfare on a large scale—the days of sail and
even steam powered wooden first-line warships were at an end.
The Europeans led the way in the construction of armored,
steam-powered warships. The Union and the Confederacy
followed close on their heels.
The new ships took the form of broadside ironclads like
the USS New Ironsides whose design and layout followed in
the steps of the French La Gloire, the first ironclad warship,
and the British HMS Warrior, the first iron-hulled warship.
These more traditional designs were similar in look to wooden
steam frigates and screw sloops of the era. More innovative
designs were soon to follow in the form of a whole series of
US monitors including the original namesake, while the Confederacy led the way in the construction of casemate ironclads
with the CSS Virginia.
Propulsion took the form of steam engines in various
shapes, sizes and configurations. Ship architects were limited
to the technology of the era since compound engines were just
coming into use and the steam turbine would not appear until
1884. This resulted in many ships (especially on the Confederate side) being under powered, consequently lacking speed and
maneuverability. The tactic of closing on your opponent and
slugging it out was in many ways dictated by these limitations.
The steam engines also consumed a great deal of coal,
requiring armored ships to stay close to home. Most ocean
going wooden ships retained sails to enhance their range. The
Union utilized their wooden ships for blockade duty as the
armored vessels were typically not suited to chasing down the
Confederacy’s blockade runners.
Naval ordnance also saw much innovation with the development of massive smoothbore guns like the Dahlgren 15"
and 20" monsters, the latter weighing in at 50 tons. Muzzleloading rifled-guns also saw extensive use, the larger pieces
ranging in size from 6.4" firing a 100 pound shell, up to 8"
guns firing 200 pound shells. While breech-loading naval
guns were developed prior to the war, very few saw service.

Example of Play
What follows is an abbreviated replay of Scenario 2
fought between the CSS Virginia and her nemesis, the USS
Monitor. To follow along, setup the gameboard as described for
the scenario and place the Play Aid and the ship cards close
at hand for quick reference. There is no need to deal out any
Action cards. This replay did not employ any of the optional
rules listed for Scenario 2.
For the first 4 turns, the Union player (USA) held position
waiting to see where the Confederate player (CSA) maneuvered his two ships. During turn 4, the Virginia moved into
its current grid box, and took a Long Range shot at Minnesota.
The Patrick Henry remained out of range.
CSA rolled Virginia‘s Gunnery dice (d10d4 from Virginia’s ship card). The results were a 4 on the d10, a 3 on the
d4, and a 3 for the d8 Hit Location dice. The 4 was modified
to a 5 because of the following modifiers: –2 for Long range,
+1 for the Virginia’s Crack Grade, and +2 for an Immobile
Target (–2+1+2=+1). Minnesota’s Bow was hit (a 3 Hit Location result from the Play Aid or the ship card). USA rolled
Minnesota’s Defensive dice (d8 from Minnesota’s ship card).
The result was a 3 on the d8. Since the CR (5) did not double
the DR (3), the shot had no effect.
For turn 5, as the side playing first, USA decided to close
the range with Virginia by attempting to move Monitor to a
new grid box with a Maneuver 1 Order. USA was not concerned with Patrick Henry at that point.
’s Maneuver dice (d10 from MoniUSA rolled
tor’s ship card). The result was a 7 on the d10. CSA rolled the
Response dice (d8d6 from the Play Aid, attempted move to an
adjacent Grid Box). The results were a 3 on the d8 and a 6 on the
d6. Since 7 was greater than 6, Monitor’s move was successful.
Monitor then took
a Medium Range shot
at Virginia. The result
was a 7 on the Gunnery
dice (d10 from Monitor’s ship card), and a 6
for the d8 Hit Location
dice. The 7 was modified
to a 8 because of the following modifier: +1 for
Monitor’s Crack Grade.
Virginia’s Stern was hit
(a 6 Hit Location result from the Play Aid).
Virginia’s result was a
2 on the d10 and 4 on
the d6 Defensive dice
(d10d6 from Virginia’s
ship card). Since the
CR (8) doubled the DR
(4), CSA placed a Shield
-1 marker on Virginia’s
Stern Hit Location on
her ship card.
Not interested in sitting idling by while the battle surged
around her, Minnesota took a Long Range shot at Virginia.
USA rolled Minnesota’s Gunnery dice (d10d6d4 from the
Minnesota’s ship card). The results were a 4 on the d10, a 6
on the d6, and a 3 on the d4, and a 5 for the d8 Hit Location
dice. The 6 was modified to a 2 because of the following modifiers: –2 for Long Range and –2 for being aground. Virginia’s
Amidships was hit. Virginia’s result was a 7 on the d10 and 2
on the d6 Defensive dice. Since the CR (2) was less than the
DR (7), the shot had no effect.
CSA decided to close the range with Virginia and, for
the moment, hold position with Patrick Henry, by assigning them Maneuver 1 and Maneuver 0 Orders, respectively.
CSA announced that Virginia was going to attempt to enter
Monitor’s Grid Box and rolled Virginia’s Maneuver dice (d8
from Virginia’s ship card). The result was a 6 on the d8. USA
rolled the Response dice. The results were a 6 on the d8 and
a 5 on the d6. Since 6 was not greater than 6, Virginia’s move
was unsuccessful and she remained in her current Grid Box.
After failing to move, Virginia then took a Medium Range
shot at Monitor. The results were a 5 on the d10 and a 2 on
the d4 Gunnery dice, and a 2 for the d8 Hit Location dice.
The 5 was modified to a 6 because of the following modifier:
+1 for Virginia’s Crack Grade. Monitor’s Turret Front was hit.
Note that the TF hit location was in effect since Monitor is
a monitor-type ship. Monitor’s result was a 9 on the d10 and
3 on the d6 Defensive dice (from Monitor’s ship card). Since
the CR (6) did not double the DR (9), the shot had no effect.
All positions at the end of turn 5 are depicted in the
gameboard image below (note the Zouave positioned off-map
adjacent to Minnesota’s Grid Box).

For turn 6, USA was satisfied holding Monitor’s current
position since she was in a good location between Virginia
and Minnesota and Patrick Henry was out of range so played a
Maneuver 0 Order..
Monitor again took a Medium Range shot at Virginia.
The result was a 10 on the d10 Gunnery and a 1 for the d8 Hit
Location dice. The 10 was modified to a 11 because of Monitor’s
Crack Grade. Virginia’s Waterline was hit. Virginia’s result was a
3 on the d10 Defensive dice. Since the CR (11) tripled the DR
(3), a Critical Hit was scored. CSA placed a Shield -2 marker on
Virginia’s Waterline Hit Location and placed a ‘3’ Hits on her
ship card. Note that due to damage at the Waterline, Virginia
suffered an additional Hit.
USA placed a Light Smoke marker on Monitor since her
unmodified gunnery die roll result was a 10.
USA then rolled for the Critical Hit. The result was 3 on
the first d6 and a 1 on the second d6 for a total of 4 (for Critical Hits, the two d6 results were added together). The Critical
Hit created a Fire (from the WL column in Critical Hit Table
on the Play Aid). USA rolled a 3 on the d10 to determine the
Fire Level [6.3.9]. CSA placed a Fire 2 marker on Virginia’s
ship card.
Minnesota took another Long Range shot at Virginia.
The results were a 9 on the d10, a 5 on the d6, and a 1 on the
d4, and a 7 for the d8 Hit Location dice. The 9 was modified
to a 5 because of the following modifiers: –2 for Long Range
and additional –2 for being aground. Virginia’s Stern was hit.
Virginia’s result was a 4 on the d10 and 3 on the d6 Defensive
dice. The 4 was modified to a 3 because the Virginia’s Stern
Hit Location had a Shield –1 marker. Since the CR (5) did not
double the DR (3), the shot had no effect. Virginia’s Stern is an
armored location so no hits were scored with a Shield –1 marker.
At the start of his turn 6, CSA must first check the status of
Virginia’s Fire by rolling a d10 and referencing the Fire Status
Table on the Play Aid.
The result was a 7, leaving the fire unchanged
at Level 2. Fortunately,
for Virginia it did not
intensify.
Patrick Henry was going to attempt to move down one Grid
Box and rolled Patrick Henry’s Maneuver dice (d10/d6 from
Patrick Henry’s ship card). The result was an 8 on the d10 and
a 2 on the d6. USA rolled the Response dice. The results were
a 4 on the d8 and a 5 on the d6. Since 8 was greater than 5,
Patrick Henry’s move was successful.
CSA announced that Virginia was going to attempt to
enter the Monitor’s Grid Box. Aiding the move, CSA played a
Maneuver +1 Action card. The result was a 7 on the d8. The 7
was modified to a 6 because of the following modifiers: Action
Card +1 and Fire –2. USA rolled the Response dice. The results
were a 3 on the d8 and a 4 on the d6. Since 6 was greater than
4, Virginia’s move was successful.
Patrick Henry took a Long Range shot at Monitor. CSA
rolled Patrick Henry’s Gunnery dice (d8d4 from the Patrick
Henry’s ship card). The results were a 5 on the d8, a 4 on the
d4, and a 2 for the d8 Hit Location dice. The 5 was modified
to a 2 because of the following modifiers: -2 for Long range
and –1 for the Monitor’s Light Smoke. Monitor’s Turret Front
was hit. Monitor’s result was a 5 on the d10 and 4 on the d6
Defensive dice. Since the CR (2) did not double the DR (5),
the shot had no effect.
Virginia took a Short Range shot at Monitor. The results
were a 7 on the d10 and a 3 on the d4 Gunnery dice, and a 6 for
the d8 Hit Location dice. The 7 was modified to a 5 because of
the following modifiers: +1 for the Virginia’s Crack Grade, +2
for Short Range, –2 for the Fire, –2 for the Repair Party, and –1
for Monitor’s Light Smoke. Monitor’s Turret Rear was hit. Monitor’s result was a 1 on the d10 and 2 on the d6 Defensive dice.
Since the CR (5) doubled the DR (2), USA placed a Shield –1
marker on Monitor’s Turret Rear Hit Location on her ship card.
All positions at the end of turn 6 are depicted in the
gameboard image below.
Keenly aware of the
threat of ship borne fires,
CSA placed a Repair
Party marker on Virginia’s ship card. Since
Repair Parties are placed
after checking Fire Status, it cannot assist in
fighting the fire until
CSA’s turn 7.
CSA decided to
press the action by moving both Virginia and
Patrick Henry closer to
the Union ships with
Maneuver 1 Orders.
CSA announced that

At the start of his turn 7, USA must first check the status
of Monitor’s Light Smoke by rolling a d10 and referencing the
Status Change and Orders Table on the Play Aid. The result
was a 7, removing the Light Smoke.
USA decided again to hold Monitor’s current position since
she wanted to take advantage of Virginia’s fire situation so once
again ordered Maneuver 0.
Monitor took a Short Range shot at Virginia. The result was
a 7 on the d10 Gunnery and a 2 for the d8 Hit Location dice.
The 7 was modified to a 10 because of the following modifiers:
+1 for Monitor’s Crack Grade, +2 for Short Range. Virginia’s
Bow was hit. Virginia’s result was a 5 on the d10 and a 4 on
the d6 Defensive dice. Since the CR (10) doubled the DR (5),
CSA placed a Shield –1 marker on Virginia’s Bow Hit Location
on her ship card.
Minnesota took a Medium Range shot at Virginia. The results were a 5 on the d10, a 6 on the d6, and a 4 on the d4, and a
3 for the d8 Hit Location dice. The 6 was modified to a 4 because
of the following modifier: –2 for being aground. Virginia’s Bow
was hit. Virginia’s result
was a 2 on the d10 and
3 on the d6 Defensive
dice. The 3 was modified to a 2 because the
Virginia’s Bow Hit Location had a Shield –1
marker. Since the CR
(4) doubled the DR (2),
CSA replaced the Bow’s
Shield -1’marker with a
Shield –2 marker.
lowing modifiers: –2 for Long range and +2 for an Immobile
Target. Minnesota’s Amidships was hit. Minnesota’s result was a
3 on the d8 Defensive dice. Since the CR (7) doubled the DR
(3), USA placed a Shield –1 marker on Minnesota’s Amidships
Hit Location on her ship card.
Virginia took a Short Range shot at Monitor. The results
were an 8 on the d10 and a 2 on the d4 Gunnery dice, and a 3
for the d8 Hit Location dice. The 8 is modified to a 6 because
of the following modifiers: +1 for the Virginia’s Crack Grade,
+2 for Short Range, –1 for the Fire, –2 for the Repair Party, and
–2 for Bow-On. Monitor’s Turret Front was hit. Monitor’s result
was a 2 on the d10 and 3 on the d6 Defensive dice. Since the
CR (6) doubled the DR (3), USA placed a Shield –1 marker on
Monitor’s Turret Front Hit Location on her ship card.
CSA placed a Light Smoke marker on Virginia since her
unmodified gunnery die roll result was an 8.
All positions at the end of turn 7 are depicted in the
gameboard image below.
At the start of his
turn 7, CSA must again
check the status of Virginia’s Fire. The result
was an 8, reducing the fire
by 1 level. CSA replaced
Virginia’s Fire 2 marker
with a Fire 1 marker.
CSA decided to
move just Patrick Henry
with a Maneuver 1 Order, and selected Maneuver 0: Spar and/or Ram Attack for Virginia. Patrick Henry
attempted to move down one Grid Box. The result was a 7 on
the d10 and a 5 on the d6. USA rolled the Response dice. The
results were a 5 on the d8 and a 2 on the d6. Since 7 was greater
than 5, Patrick Henry’s move was successful.
Who won? Play Scenario 2 to determine your own outcome.
Virginia attempted to ram Monitor. The result was a 6 on
Virginia’s Maneuver Dice. The 6 was modified to a 3 because
of the following modifiers: Attempt Ram –2 and Fire –1. USA
rolled Monitor’s Maneuver dice. The result was a 5 on the d10.
Since 3 was not greater than 5, Virginia did not make contact.
Monitor may fire at Point Blank range next turn.
Patrick Henry took a Long Range shot at Minnesota. The
results were a 7 on the d8, a 1 on the d4, and a 4 for the d8 Hit
Location dice. The 7 remained unmodified because of the fol-
